Talking It Out
The other day on beginning to write more on my novel, I took a minute and read what I had already written. I was delighted to see how much I enjoyed the story that far. I was so excited about the story that I exclaimed to my husband how wonderful a story it was. At that point I began to relate the story to him with the relish of relating a day time story. I was surprised to get much more clarity on the story. You know how you may not have the complete vision and may not know whare or how to continue? Usually, we are told by writing professionals not to talk the story out for fear of using up the passion needed to write it. So you could imagine my surprise as I related my story to see the vision of it lay in front of me.
Areas I didn't even think about yet became very clear. Characters that were one dimensional grew rounder through my talk. Connections between charcters and intentions were made when I didn't realized there were connections. In short it caused me to go running to complete my beloved novel. So if you're having trouble charting out your novel, try talking it out with a great listener and see how it works.
