Writing Undressed (Patreon)

So, I can't focus on my writing today because I have a plumber in trying to get the bathtub to drain. Sometimes owning a home sucks, but then I get to paint my walls any color I want.  And I want a lot of colors.  I have a red kitchen, ya know.

Anyway, since I can't concentrate on the stories, I thought I would show you some writing process again.  (I never know if this is interesting to anyone else, but maybe it is).

Sometimes I take the dialog I wrote and type around it. Sometimes I'm going to the dog park or any place where I know I'll be bored, but I don't to risk the laptop.  Then I will put lots of space between the pieces of dialog and write out the next bit.  I try to keep in mind that my point of view character needs to react to the words and we should learn something about him while he does that.  So here is the next step:

And for those of you following Royal Indiscretion... yes, I did call Nick "Nate" during the entire brainstorming of the dialog.  That's way more common than you think.  Anyway, so that's me.  Hopefully my plumber will be done soon. My muse and my bank account would appreciate it.

That's useful to know and I'm going to steal this technique without shame. Dialogue is my weakest point. Thank you. (Not that I'm on your level but sometimes the voices in my head get loud and I write their stories down.). Two thumbs up for the red kitchen. We had one landlord that let us paint and he regretted that because it looked like Care Bears exploded in the house. Tangerine kitchen, lavender bedroom, teal bathroom, sky blue hallway, and lemon yellow living room. It was tacky, mismatched, and I adored it. Three cheers for the colors that make us happy.

Nice technique. Don't know if it would work for me but I like the idea.

I find I have to poke around different stories using different methods. The muse can be fickle. And good for you for making your home yours. I don't need a large house or a fancy one, but I need to make it mine. I'm a nester by heart, and paint is a cheap way to make a nest feel comfortable.

I don't think it would work for everyone, and on stories that come easily like Claimings, I don't do this. But this is how I work through more difficult muses.
