Getting it just right. Or at least as right as it's going to get. 

2/8/2014

 
Sometimes I think my writing is beautiful, rhythmic and succinct, every word just fits. And sometimes I think my writing is a 20 car pile up on the highway. It's awkward and hard to follow. Pronouns don't follow who they are supposed to follow and there are way too many convoluted sentences. That's how I feel about my Prologue. I hate it. I have re-written those few pages more than any other part of the entire book and I still hate them. I finally gave up and just left it as they were.
Feel free to comment on them. It's o.k, I can take it.

I don't know why some scenes are so much easier to write than others. Some pages practically wrote themselves, while others have been deleted and re-written so many times I wore out my backspace button. My main character's voice was the hardest for me, which sucks, because she is in pretty much every scene. But her naive insecurity coupled with earnest kindness was really hard to put into words without making her sound like a whiny brat all the time. Davn was the easiest strangely enough considering I'm not nearly so broody and angry as he is and can't relate to his self loathing.

On a funny side note, I always thought Georgianna had the personality closest to m
y own, and guess how many people have told me they hate her? LOL. I just smile and nod.

    Writing is more than a hobby or a profession. It's a state of being, where the actions and dialogue of fictional characters occupies more space in your head than your own.

    Amaranthine: Eternally beautiful and unfading; everlasting.

    The Amaranth flower is a mythical flower that never dies.
