O, S, C development

 My story feels like shit right not.  The conversation between O and S is so damn cliche and I have another character that I'm wanting to be a part of this but I can't get them all connected.  What is coming out of my fingers right now is sounding so teenage love-story hallmark movie bull shit.   Blech. That's why I have this page.  Shit I write when I should be writing.  It really does help me get that crap out.  My writing wiggles.  Wiggle wiggle wiggle. I saw something on Pinterst that said "When you get stuck think about the worst thing that could happen to your characters right now.  Do that."  Well damn, that throws a wrench into things don't it?  What could happen to Cal?  Ooh her mom could finally call.  her brother.  Her ex?  Nah, that's to cheesy.  He's only a mention in her backstory.  I do need to do some character development.... Lets see, Odin.  I like Odin best right now.  he's charming and calm, soft but your wouldn't know it wi

1/3/2021

 It's 2021 and on the first of January and had asked my husband if he had any goals for the new year.  He didn't.  OK.  That conversation didn't really go anywhere.  Then he asked me the same thing and one of the things I said was to finish my book.  I've been working on it for nearly 15 years, off and on and I think this year I finish it.   So yesterday i sat down to write and I actually wrote.  I connected some character's stories, connected the past to the present.  I do think I need more of why Suzie is the way she is.  She was so joyful and innocent when she was young.  And now she is closed off and jaded.  I need to paint the picture of when it changed. And I also need to get the story of my main character out.  Her story has been put on hold since I started developing Suzie and her men.  But Cal, Cal was going places.  And a broken heart broke it all.   Unrequited love has taken over this story.  But isn't that what life is all about?  LOVE.  How it break

Writing Wiggles

I've been writing down the goal of being a published author for almost a year now and have yet to finish the one piece I've been working on for at least 15 years.  I sit down at my computer to write and I get sucked into the internet.  It's the internet's fault really, I mean all this crap to look at and scroll through just 5 more minutes.  Right?  Just 5 more minutes. It's so dumb.  Any fellow artist will tell you that.  All the procrastination tools we use to not do what we sat down to do are so dumb.  Nothing good ever comes from scrolling.  Nothing I tell you!  NOTHING. By the way, I think I spell minutes wrong every time I type it.  And I know I spell weird wrong every time.  Even now, I have to go back and switch the I and the E.  And my mom, bless her, will say "Well, you know the phrase I before E except after C..."  Yeah, mom, except when your foreign neighbor Keith received eight counterfeit beige sleighs from feisty caffeinated weightlifters.  W
