Jun. 21st, 2007 02:04 pmSuffering from introvert guilt. As in, online socializing seems to be a great thing to do, career-wise, but I never have anything to say. Blah, I go on about that a lot. I'm also feeling gossip guilt.
On the more pleasant side of life, I'm feeling confident about the Blood Rose. I spent last evening half-listening to my friends and half-trying to figure out a character via character sheets and a star chart. I now have a decent idea what she would do after the story ends, but I'm still not entirely sure what she'll do during it. But she has to do something, otherwise she's just this nebulous threat I hang over the hero's head.
Slowly but surely, I'm figuring these scenes out. I'll definitely have at least 15,000 words (so say I now) The other big thing I need to figure out is what my heroine is doing. Her side is mainly character stuff, with the potential to be nothing but long scenes of dialogue. I need to make sure that doesn't happen. If it was still erotica, it would be easy. :p
