So, Things I Learned From Doing This Exercise AGAIN. Not to capitalize so much. No, really, I learned that I didn't know nearly enough about a character I was "leaving to" Dianne. That's a bad habit of mine largely borne of not wanting to step on her toes. I don't assume about anything she's got going on because I want to let her have her say. I was raised to believe that I was a conscience-less steamroller who never let anyone have any say. Some of that may be true because I have ADHD and a slightly largish brain, but it's rather buggery when it comes to leaving blanks in my mind for Dianne to fill in as we go. Other things I learned is that having a migraine is a full-time job. I'm barely able to keep up and this is the first go-round. Speaking of round, I think our next section is on circle-plots. I did, all humour aside, learn what a bloody burden it is to have my brain trying to outgrow my skull. The Story So Far: If this exercise of writing things down (preferably on large pieces of paper with lots of colours) is the only thing I take from this book, I'm ahead. |
The craft is an enemy when not learned.
