So, today is Saturday, the husband and daughter are away for the day, and I actually got some writing done. The dogs do not have bones for this evening, so they will have to make do with a carrot each, and we are out of milk so I will have to make pancakes for breakfast, but hey - I got some writing done!

Having problems though. I have decided to plot out what I have so far done in "Red." Wish I had done that in the beginning.

I have found that I only have about half a plot.

So I am fleshing it out and filling it into what I have already written, focusing on dialogue. I am finding that my villain, a brute named Wilkins, has a really foul mouth.

Writing dialogue is not as easy as it sounds. I guess I like to write exposition; I like what the characters are thinking.

I am trying to keep it from Kaalinda's POV, in third person. But, I keep wanting to delve into what Ramirez is thinking and his motivation. I have to keep all that in mind, but I have to remind myself that Kaalinda wouldn't know any of that, unless he told her.

somehow, I never want to know what Wilkins is thinking. I think that is a good thing.

I guess I should let you know that Kaalinda is my main character, and Ramirez another main character. A love interest for Kaalinda, if you will.

Whew!

Hard work.

I think I am developing Kaalinda better, though. I kind of had her doing everything correct from the beginning, and now I am having her make mistakes and having to learn from others. I am making sure she has her own talents to offer though. Can't have it all one sided.

This rewrite is getting more in depth all the time.

I might have this redone by the end of the year. Or I might not.

We'll have to keep plugging along and see what happens.
