I’m Pulling Teeth
Hi all! I’m working on a new mystery inspired by my friends, and I swear, this one is so hard. It took me two day just to write 500 words, then I discovered I used the wrong POV. It took another two days to write 500 different words for the right POV.
The hard part is envisioning the scene, and the dialogue simultaneously. Sometimes I can picture the setting, but the dialogue doesn’t match, and finding compromises sometimes mean abandoning one or the other, or both. If it’s the later, I have to start over. The only good thing about my quandary is that I’m getting in a lot of steps for my pedometer. That’s all for now.
