Good morning from the Cottage of Blog.
Well, it's test day today. 200 point exam. I'm wondering how many kids will show up. that's always the question, isn't it?When I was going to school we didn't DARE cut classes. It was almost unheard of. I did once. The teacher layed such a guilt trip on me--well, that's another story. And of course, a boy was involved. (tee hee)
Yesterday in my WIP (work in progress for those of you who don't know) I characterized the villain of the piece. I've made him more human more pitiable--and hopefully, frightening. A man descending into obsession and madness. I hope I can bring that to life on the page. A kind of "If I can't have you, nobody can."
The heroine's essentials haven't changed much. She's still the same, but as I draft, I'm trying to give her more background. I must be seeped in the tradition of fragile, helpless heroines, because that's how I always want to portray them. So I do. They all change gradually throughout the rewrites.
Well, it is definitely time for me to go and work for at least a half hour before getting ready for school. Maybe I can get in 15 minutes of blog and email time, half and hour of writing in the morning and about 1.5 - 2 hours at night. That would be a blessing.
Unless I want to stay a rank amateur forever.
Cheers
Pat
