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*

Hmm. I really have to think about this one. I'm not sure. I think in the same way that I speak, so maybe other people do? I don't know.

heh. exactly. just the sort of thing a writer doesn't need, this sort of problem! I suppose if he didn't know the word for something he'd just use another.

Bah. It's annoying, I wanted it to be all poetic.
