| Here is a collection of ruminations and whatnot. |
| Last night I wrote another scene for KICK, the title of the Loveable Resident Sequel. I wrote a scene with Mike Oates at the end of his tether. His wife Lauren left to go see her father, Jonathan Moore, leaving Mike alone. Mike went through a crisis and almost did himself in. I decided to put a pause in his suicidal intent and make him live for another day. My Muse and I had a problem with it and my Muse wanted to end Mike's life right there. I replied that I wanted to prolong his existence because the story would end too soon. Lauren's story might develop if Mike's existence ended and I wasn't sure that the story would have any sense because Mike was the protagonist and Lauren's character was something that was secondary to Mike's. I am torn about this scene and don't know whether I want to go on with the Sequel. I do not like MIke Oates' character nor do I feel anything for Lauren's. I'm a writer who wishes to like my characters and I want them to do well enough to have a satisfying story in the end where the readers will say, That's ok. So I'm pausing writing this story until my Muse and I come to an agreement about what Mike's life will end up as. It's hard to write a story about a psychopath. I am not sure that I'm in the right mood to write this story, and I think I've had several difficulties with writing anyway. Writing is a tender business, something that comes from one's imagination. I might be better disposed to write some other story that I'm developing even now as i write this blog post. The thoughts that might be happy with my other book aren't sympathetic with my writing the Sequel. It's seemingly more attractive to those in my audience of thoughts to write about something more positive than writing about a man who's got no redeeming qualities. I'm not someone like Truman Capote who wrote that book that was about some assassin. I might have to beef up myself to write more on KICK. I don't know what I will do about it. More time is needed, for sure, to go on with KICK. I don't know what else to do about it at the present time. I'll keep you posted. M. |
