Work in Progress

One of the major problems I have with writing is my mind is constantly spinning in multiple directions which is something I need to get under control if I want to be able to finish my novel. The other thing I want to be able to do is create something different. I want my concept to be fresh not just a different spin on what is out there already.

Writing isn't complicated but it can be tough when you want your characters to stand out and not blend into the mundane. I am working to create a character that when I write his or her voice is heard very clearly. I think about the nights when I can't sleep and how that is when something is speaking to me loudly.

This part of me is just another creative craft that I want to perfect like everything else I do. I am waiting to see what develops. Right now I am working on my outline but the main character's name really wasn't talking to me until recently. I may have a winner without being repetitious. I can only see what happens and how the story makes its way onto the screen.
