Not so fast...

Well, sickness had it's vile way with me again. Bleeding ulcers and anemia. Can a girl catch a break?

Anyway, about my writing. I got this concept in my head that I thought was really good. I made my outlines, set my characters set up the structure. The thing should have written itself from there. I found because it was so jam packed with concept, I found it really hard to find a strong and unique voice for each character. As I was writing, it became clear that it one character talking to himself, LOL. Probably should not have tackled something so broad whilst tired and in pain so I've put that piece aside for now.

Oddly enough, the second I made that decision, a new concept sprung into my weak little mind and two days later, I have a complete rough draft of a play in two acts. 110 pages of dialogue where my characters are crystal and developed. That one really did write itself. Strange how the mind works.
