The Words Will Make You Out ‘n’ Out
I intended to keep out of the sun today, and the weather cooperated by not being quite as sunny and intense as it has been for the past week. Instead, I took myself up to the desk in the shed and tried to write some more fiction. And I did. It isn’t very good, but it keeps things going.
It’s a funny thing; I’ve got a couple of fragments of parts of the story that sooner or later I’ll stich together as the bigger narrative takes shape. Both revolve around the same protagonist, but one is in the 1st person, the other in the 3rd person. Oops. It’ll probably end up first person once I get the protagonist’s voice properly in my head, but it isn’t there yet. I’ve written about this character before, but seen through the eyes and ears of someone else, and the internal and external voices aren’t the same. As an example, someone else will hear your accent and dialect, but your inner voice won’t really hear them at all.
I sat out for a while late on to get the last of the sun. It was a wee bit chillier than the last few evenings, but pleasant enough. I also had a decent walk; I didn’t use an app to track it accurately, but it was about 4 miles. I’ve been putting phone snaps from walks and stuff on Instagram by the way–tap the instagram icon up to the top right of this screen and you should see them.
I was stuck for music tonight until I skimmed the headlines and noticed that the eyes of the world are on North Korea. Problem solved.
