Jennifer, Jesse, Maura, me, in Dumbo at the Slideluck Potshow
I wrote about the last 5 things I read/have been reading for Impose.
Also I finished the first draft of the third chapter/story this weekend. Only nine more to go. (Eight? Ten? We’ll see how this unfolds.)
I have been noticing with this book that I know it’s time to finish a story when I start to hear the next character I’m going to focus on talking to me, giving me the first line of their story. There are other characters who are sort of bustling about in the background of my head fighting for attention, but the one who talks the loudest wins and gets to come out and play for a while.
I realize this might make me sound a little crazy but it works for me. I cannot express to you enough how much I entertain myself. I have been this way since I was a tubby, nerdy, lonely child. Give me a book or a piece of paper and a pen, and I was fine for hours.
Make friends with your imagination.
Turn your eccentricities into gold.
