DON’T LEAVE THEM HOME ALONE

I was on vacation for a week and when I returned and got back to my writing, I found my characters had gotten all kinds of ideas in their heads about their future. I took notes and thought I’d share some of their ideas. 

▪ Join the circus? (No!)
▪ Elope to Vegas? (Maybe…) 
▪ Commit a crime? (What is wrong with you guys?!)
▪ Maybe just some light shoplifting? (Seriously?)
▪ Make a huge scene in a classy restaurant? (That could be interesting )
▪ Slap your boyfriend’s teenage daughter when she calls you a ho? (Possibly)
▪ How about the ex-wife instead of the daughter? (Better yet)
▪ Dump the boyfriend for not defending you? (Really? Is this the 1800's?) 

While I nixed some of the ideas, what they did was stir up the creative juices and slam me right back into high gear with my writing. I’ve been juicing up the scenes, forcing my characters (and me) to think outside the lines. It’s been fun after more than a week away from my manuscript.  

But joining the circus? I better not leave my characters alone for too long next time. 

Happy Autumn and Happy Reading!
