I must just be weird. The descriptive backstory stuff flies out for me. The slowest for me is dialogue, by a lot. I find myself struggling over every line. I'm sure when I get around to editing that all of the dialogue will need to be reworked. Oh well.

I usually don't have a problem with it, but for this world it's going kind of difficult sometimes. I'm trying to keep it short and sweet and in the same voice/character as the main that I'm following for a viewpoint. He's not the type of guy to go all fluffy and flowery over the tiniest blade of grass.
I guess it all depends on the totality of everything, |

Dialogue is by far the easiest for me. I can hit a dialogue stride that takes me a good 1000 or so words.
For me the hardest part is the start of the new scene. Normally it's something I would spend more time trying to get just right, but in this write, write, write sort of pace I don't have time, so I just hit the wall and try to make a big enough hole to squeeze through. |

This thread inspired me to write a piece of flash fic this morning! I doubt it's at all original, but it might make y'all smile:

I've taken the attitude of killing them before they get uppity - four down in the prologue (I even ruined a perfectly nice Porsche to do it). |

Right now, I'm re=plotting the rest of the book, because the bastiche characters managed to escape the Mafia Boss. And the suicidally depressed Autopilot needs to get analysis somewhere...

Nomesque, thank you for the fun!
![]() ![]() My favorite line: "Ye gads. Is this how God feels every time someone prays?" Montsnmags, keep writing! I'll match my heaping pile of words to your heaping pile of words any day -- how big is that hole?? ![]() Pshrynk, I haven't done it yet, but I am more and more tempted to find what you've written and read it! ![]() I went to a Nano write-in today and met a few of the people from my area. They seemed so normal . . . ! Really nice, actually. A little typing, a little chatting, and down we went! ![]() Fi |
