A new start!

And by that I mean that (as most of you will already know, so no need for further comment!) I've closed my underlucius fandom journal and will now be here on a permanent basis.

It's scary.

Am writing a short story and my first completely (or so I thought) unlikeable, unredeemable character. However, I'm not as clever as I thought I was as when I read it out to my mother she said "oh - poor man, I feel really sorry for him." *headdesk*

However: Have a quandry. It's a character study. He's thinking the entire story and he sounds more intelligent than you'd give him credit for. Hmm. need to try and address that, but what I was wondering... Do untutored people sound like that in their own heads? Do you think in dialect? *ponders*

Thanks hun. I'm going to try doing it, and if I can't make it pretty, then I'm going to try and change it to 3rd person.

grrrr


Real life? *wibbles* I'd better get me one of them!

You can do it. Think of...Scout in To Kill A Mockingbird. We totally got that she was a young girl and from the South, but I never wanted to choke her with her own accent.

I need to get a real life, too. *sigh*
