Method acting…
Very blah night, fell asleep for a bit, and am hoping I didn’t futz up my schedule. Although, it’s Friday tomorrow, so my schedule will be easier to adapt to whatever happens.
Aside from that, it was more working through the opening of the book. I recently looked at the passages I was writing, and thought that isn’t how this character would react to this situation, that’s how I would react, which was a good thing.
Oddly enough, no matter what I say, people who know me will think I am this character. First novel, book in first person, some similar issues, so no matter what this character does, I’m sure friends and family will jump to conclusions.
In any event, though, I still am putting myself through the equivalent of method acting to write this thing. The scene I am doing now is something really outside myself, which is why it’s giving me drama. The character isn’t speaking with the proper authority about his world, he’s speaking about mine right now.
Oh well, I didn’t write enough to justify ranting here for too long. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.
