For the three people who have made it here, I ran into a bit of trouble writing. I could see where I wanted to go and I had my story down, but I somehow lost the will to get there. That creative spark inside us all had somehow faded in me a little bit.
Then I bought GTA V and played the game everyday for hours on end. I set the book aside and I zoned out (mostly). And in the midst of the violence, the robbing, the murdering and the strip joints in Los Santos' a strage thing happened. My subconscious continued to write, tweaking the fine points and changing a character or two. I had no idea this had happened until I finished the game last week.
When I sat down to the computer, opened my file at the last part of the rewrite I left off on, I began typing but unlike the little bit of work I did before, I never referrenced the draft.... in my mind, I knew what was needed, what was not and what was to be added. I feel the biggest change is in the characters themselves. My early draft set out to make dynamic, but this part of the story isn't about being dynamic... It's about being real. Until my break, they never felt real to me, but now they do.
When I started this, I had a vision in my head to write a book that could entertain anyone who picked it up, but it lacked humanity. I hope that humanity that I see now in my people grabs everyone who picks it up in the future the same way it grabs me.
Back to work......
