1. One of my characters is going to become a carny. He has been looking for a job, and thanks to Jeremy's facebook post about carnies, he found the perfect occupation.
2. One of my characters is a cross-dresser.
3. So far, nearly 20,000 words in, it is a lot easier than I had imagined.
4. It is also fun. It's like reading a book, only it's the best Choose Your Own Adventure book ever.
5. I thought I would be able to make room in my consciousness for my story to unfold and still maintain my blog. I was wrong. The story pretty much takes up everything.
6. I put a real-life story from the newspaper into my story. Like Law and Order, ripped from the headlines.
7. Even though it is going well and it is fun, I am starting to think it isn't super-awesome.
8. One of my characters lives in a yurt. By choice!
Well, I'm proud of you - this is an amazing feat!
ReplyDeleteI doubt if very many authors turned out really good books on their first effort. The point is to make the first effort.
ReplyDeleteI love how your characters seem to be taking over the story and surprising you.
I think one of your characters should be a cross-dressing carny.
