AND you've ...Snapshot Wednesday - sounds great! AND you've got perfect "Molly Ringwald hair" here! I envy you, there's no way my hair looked like this and I'm quite obsessed with 80s you know...<br /><br />Now. I saw that entry yesterday and it got me thinking that maybe...maybe the reason you're stuck with your novel is blogging? I mean, you blog every day and it's, naturally, cool, because we all love reading this, but - this IS a real time sucker, isn't it? Plus, the fact that you make a new post every day makes you sort of obliged (although it doesn't even feel like an obligation) to think about posting. It just works this way: the more often someone blogs, the more they think about it. Maybe if you weren't paying that much attention to blogging ideas...or, more like: if you forced yourself to pay less attention to them, writing novel would go better? HOWEVER, there's one thing I can tell you: I've got this friend, he's a journalist and also a writer. Whenever he's stuck with the plot he does what he calls "scriptwriters trick" - he writes impossibly thorough characteristics of eee, characters in his shortstory or novel. And if he already had such characteristics, he makes them even more detailed. Really, really detailed, 4-5 pages. Because when you know these characters SO well, suddenly the plot is not that much of a problem, you sort of know what decisions they cannot make...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-68720509761401987322010-07-29T11:40:12.776-04:002010-07-29T11:40:12.776-04:00Snapshot Wednesday is a very cool idea.
I agree ...Snapshot Wednesday is a very cool idea. <br /><br />I agree w/Lira - there are lessons we each need to learn in life. Right now, I'm so confused that I have no idea what those lessons are. However, I'll keep putting one foot in front of the other until I, hopefully, figure it all out.Debra Lynn Sheltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08238268767406623274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-10970077664492649472010-07-28T18:45:13.071-04:002010-07-28T18:45:13.071-04:00I read a book once where it was suggested that we ...I read a book once where it was suggested that we souls keep coming down to Earth to learn lessons we didn't get the last time.
