Lover's Dispute Scene
Last Saturday morning, I woke with an awesome need to write. I am keeping a journal beside my bed for this very purpose (I used to do this before I got too busy to write). Every other day, I try to do some sort of writing exercise. Right now, everyday would be more than I can handle. Anyway, I grabbed the journal, turned to a clean page and the words just poured from my mind through my pen on to the page. One of my people was really generous and I was truly amazed. I wrote about a Lover's Misunderstanding. To my way of thinking, I feel I did pretty good describing the emotions of the characters and changing view points. I did not get into a description of either of the characters and no setting except to mention that the female character was laying on a bed (I'm still working on setting, plot, conflict--all of the elements). I read it over and over looking for mistakes and corrected what I could. I let someone else read it and was given a thumbs up. I could almost say I was feeling really cocky...almost, but I know I still have a lot of work to do. Okay, I'm finished for now.

Write, revise, rewrite, revise again and keep on writing. That's a life a of good writer--at least I hope, because the gods know that's all I do!
ReplyDeleteContinue on. Your muse is stirring mightily, this is clear. Let it flow, and go with the flow.
ReplyDeletethese are good signs!
ReplyDeleteI try to do 'morning pages', (from Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way) first thing when I wake up. It's quite amazing what comes out straight after sleep isn't it?
All the best with the writing - may the flow continue!
It feels really good when words flow effortlessly, doesn't it? In a way it makes up for the times when nothing comes out at all or when it is a struggle to get the thoughts "written" the way they are playing around in your head.
