Back at work, even though it's the wee hours of the morn'. Fewer distractions at this hour, I find.
I was able to salvage a little more from the cutting room floor (see last post) tonight, and add it back into the story. This is positive, for there is some good stuff there. The challenge is to find the diamonds in the pile of rhinestones. Little nuggets of shiny, lovely phrases allowing me to bring the characters to materialization.
I've missed my fictional people. My little heroine had died in the original, which was never my intention. She's going to wake up one day, not die in an anticlimactic moment of frenzied writing. That wasn't her purpose, and it no longer will be her fate.
But wait, there's more!
I've got another idea for a different story, but it's going to have to be put on the back burner for the time being. I like the thought of this heroine, too. She's going to be more present in her own life, unlike Lanie (the current protagonist). She's got so much to say, and I want to give her that voice. But for now, she's going to have to live in notes and nothing else.
Until next time, I'll continue scribbling.
