I'm writing this morning, because I'm a writer now, you know. I'm not finding the writing so difficult. My main character is a girl, living in Boston, a little disgruntled with her job, wants to escape her cube to do bigger and better things. She's kind of a sarcastic wiseass (which gets her into trouble sometimes) who rolls her eyes frequently. Don't know who that could be - obviously my imagination has gone wild! Of course when you have no outline, no pre thought out characters or plot, one has no choice but to base their writing on what they know. It's sort of like an autobiography, except it's more the life I want to be living. I'm starting to think of it as free therapy.
I'm having some trouble settling on telling the story in the first or third person. First seems so much more personal, yet I find it easier to form the sentences in the third person, which is odd because 99% of what I write in my regular life is in the first person (as it's mainly here and emails). Maybe it's a way of distancing myself from what I'm writing. I don't know.
p.s. Blogger seems to be smoking some serious crack today. I had to change the time of this post to like 3 am to get it post because it kept making the post time 10 hours later, meaning it wouldn't show up because Blogger considered it a future post. what?
