I don’t think I have a favorite part of the story creation process. If I did it would probably be the dreaming–that moment when the story comes into your mind half-formed and longing to be imagined. I can say the worst part of story creation is that moment when you try to hold on too long and ruin the beauty of the story by continuing past the natural end. I’m not there yet in my series. Instead I am in the happy place where I am learning more about these characters and how they feel about one another. That is a sweet moment for me, because those interactions are what I love to write and what started me writing in the first place. I love to tell stories about relationships. We can dig into why some other time, but for now let’s just say it can be cathartic.
Some Thoughts:
- A Prime Video ad for Bloodshot just popped up. This old Vin Diesel movie reminds me that Vin Diesel is a terrible actor. Outside of a few roles where he basically plays his imagined self, he cannot carry roles. Heck, he cannot even carry the Fast and Furious role anymore. I hope he realizes how much luster the title has lost.
