Good Monday morning from The Cottage of Blog
The Cottage of Blog
I'm not staying too long. I almost forgot about posting this morning.
But, the coffee is fresh, it's cereal with raisins and walnuts and tomatoe juice and I'm hot to trot on the fourth scene.
I'm figuring out sections are not necessarily scenes--or at least, they may be but scenes can fill out sections. and sections are usually in one person's pov? I'll have to work that one out. I have a handle on motivational units. Although I might not do them correctly all the time, espcially in first drafts. But I do have the understanding that there's an order to things. an action, a reaction, a comment as a result of that reaction, then another action and moving right along.
My chapters are being written in 1. Block format. Well, the blocks are being pointed out. In this new WIP the ordinary world stops for heroine before it stops for the hero. Her reluctance to call comes before his -- they do seem to cross the first threshold together however. That's their first sign of unity. Even though, but that time, they distrust each other, but no longer hate each other like they did in call to adventure and refusal of call.
Do I mention I've been using Vogler? I believe thre was a bit more compact block somewhere, I might rather use. I think Chris is so detailed it doesn't always fit. But then, I'm great in stuffing square pegs into round holes.
My characters are up to crossing the first threshold and have landed in chapter 4. Scenes include: in front of house, cell phone call which is inciting incident for heroine and her motivation to do set up her bizarre behavior later in the chapter. Then the bar scene--his pov which goes on 5 pages or so (maybe not that long) then her POV. Then the motel scene that starts in her POV and shifts to his--then the gun fight in the motel parking lot. Then jwe move on to the ride back to her apartment in a seedy neighborhood and her finding her apartment trashed. and the following reaction scene at the police precinct, where the two detectives are stunned to find that it's not the previous drug bust at ALL that precipitated the gunfight, but something to do with the heroine. Go figure. The last scene and third chapter takes place in his apartment where we learn why she fears sex so much, why she couldn't go home to hers or anyone elses and why he feels like a cad. Good. he deserves to.
On to crossing the threshold.
Please let me mention that this is solely first draft stuff. If any of this is unrealistic content or doesn't fit--it can be trashed, quickly and mericifully.
I'm going. I want to write just a bit before I get ready for school.
