Characters are ready to be born…

11 Sep

Writing….characters are leading me…I’m not leading them and that is a good thing.  Being a writer is a funny thing…you have voices speaking to you and you’re not bi-polar (slippery slope). 

Still basking in the writergeek glow of having a messaging chat with Terry Rossio (what a sweet man), I came up with a really great scene this morning that came to me while walking home.  It was a great use of foreshadowing for the protagonist and the antagonist.  It’s such a New York moment too..brief but speaks volumes of what is to come for the lead character.

Looking forward to finally breaking out my Stuart Weitzman shoes and hanging out in L.A. next month. *stoked*

Write on.

    “Being a writer is a funny thing…you have voices speaking to you and you’re not bi-polar (slippery slope)” ………… that’s a classic statement. That actually gives us a look on the inside of how the mind of a writer actually works. Keep on doing your thing. You can do this Mo…. I’m still one of your biggest fans.

    I definitely know how you feel, lol. My character development process involves me interviewing my main characters. I ask them about 30 questions. Talk about voices in your head, ha.
