A Little Birdie Told Me…

August 1st, 2008

I’m still laughing over a scene I re-wrote two days ago… As one character is leaving, she doesn’t give much explanation. In fact, she was so vague, the other characters were unsure of what had just happened immediately before her hasty departure. Out of another character’s mouth, plain as day, the words in my journal say, “What was that?”

I can no longer tip-toe around this scene, that’s painfully obvious. But, I love that my characters are able to question, and that I’m able to question… Better now than later! There’s nothing worse than an audience paying good money to see something and then not believing a word of it.

Strangely, the humor I’m finding in all this is helping the task seem less daunting. Cross your fingers that third time’s a charm!
