Ow, ow, ow.

Sat Feb 6, 2010, 1:38 AM
I worked for hours today. Not on the fun stuff, the flesh of this book, but on its skeleton. First I took all the bones apart. Then I put them back into the perfect order to cause the most engagement, the most tension, the most joy, the most heartbreak. Exposition, Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action, and Conclusion, I've got them all.

Thirty-nine index cards, each with a scene or single-purpose group of scenes described, and then the "reason" for each, the "why", the "how does the move the story forward?" near the bottom.

My fingers are cramping like hell, I'm starving, it's 3:30 A.M., I still have to clean my kitchen, and I have a basketball game and soft-ball registrations tomorrow.

But the damned cards are finished, and they are beautifully ordered.

Girl Meets Boy
Girl Loathes Boy
Boy Admits Secret
Girl Softens
Boy's World Threatened
Girl Volunteers to Help
Girl and Boy Become Friends
Boy Falls in Love
Girl Falls in Fury
Girl is Attacked
Girl Rises in Love
Girl Tries to Save Boy's World
Boy Admits New Secret
Hell Breaks Loose
They Plot
The Battle
They Falter
They Fail
They Persevere
They Leave You on a Cliff

That's the much shorter version.

Get ready. I'm ready.

OHMYAPOSTROPHES!!!! I am so unbelievably wowed and . . . WOW! I never, ever imagined something so cool. That is amazingly, speechlessly awesome, times four hundred.

Which one is for Ian? I'm guessing the harder one? But I could be wrong; Ian has that lost/longing side, too.

Okay, so as you may or may not know, I play the Guitar. I wrote a song inspired by, you guessed it! Silver. And another inspired by Ian.

I have the link, so you can listen to them. But first! Know that I messed up a few times, and that their not done!

Theres piano that needs to be put to "Guardian" and Becca going to sing when I write Lyrics. But I'm not very good at that so don't hold your breath. But yeah, it's really bad quality. But it's just so that you can get an Idea of what it sounds like [link]
