Dialog Dilemma

So.....I have morphed my thoughts into the opening of my story. Which is great, however I have hit a dead end. Smack, crash, bam, halt, I cannot seem to withdraw anything else from my brain. The writing has been at a standstill for about a week, and so far I have opened my story and introduced my main character. Oh and did I mention that when I tried to write more last week, I ended up describing a bathroom. Don't get me wrong it is a really great bathroom, the tile is exquisite, the furnishings are, WAIT, I am doing it again.

You see the problem I have so abruptly hurled myself into is the fact that dialog between characters completely intimidates me. And that is with out a doubt completely unfathomable for anyone who knows me, not correction for anyone who has ever been near me. I am to say the very least a talker. I love to converse. And it does not really even matter what I blab about. I just enjoy the mere conversation. I am one of those people you think will never shut up. This is a prime example, I was simply attempting to explain my writers block and now I have made a entire entry about how much I talk. But who knows maybe this one sided conversation will help to unblock my dialog drought.

New Years Resolution???

Well hello again. It has been three weeks, or somewhere about, since my last post, so I thought I better check back in. Here I am almost a month later or is I really wanted to be glass half empty, a new year later, I know very cheesy, and I have yet to write anymore more of my imagination on paper.

If I were one to believe in New Years resolutions I would make mine to finish my first piece. However, like a good many people I don't believe in making resolutions on new years so I resolve to not make a resolution and if by chance, and extreme lack of sleep I finish this year that is fantastic. And if i do not, then I will keep on enduring the ever long process of making my own, or what i hope to be, my own literary contribution to the world.

I have moved on from my last entry, I did find that losing the prelude to my work did make my storyline stronger. And hopefully this time someone else will not have already written the plot.

Until next time.
