In which I settle on some names
It's just a circus, and I'm singing, I'm never really here....
Ok, it's been that kind of week, and who says the week is out yet, it's only Tuesday...
But I whined enough last night. I did play around with names tonight. I'm starting to settle on Calli and Justin. It's a bit of a role-reversal, in that the names are opposite the meanings of the original names, but hey, I like them, and they work. I may switch the original rolls I'd planned, but I dunno. That may happen during the writing.
Filler goes here. I'm rather stumped about stuff today, but I don't want to pause in the typing. I am trying to fill out words, as I will say as often as I can't think of something else to say. But I think I'm pleased with the shape of the story for Nano at any rate. It's more than I had last year. And if I can just blather along, I should do ok.
So, the thing is, do I make Calli the musician, or do I make Justin the musician? I'd rather viewed the guy as a guitar player. May swipe some of him from elsewhere, too. Not Elvis, though. Nor elvish. heheh. Also not sure about their ages. I'm thinking YA at the moment, but it may be aimed a little lower even the charaters aren't.
Ok, so now, I need to figure out how M motivates 'em to start the search, and how or if I'm tossing P into the mix. Need a good name for P, too, unless I mix her in with Calli. I don't think I will, though. M's niece, and much younger, maybe. Maybe a bit bratty? Shades of Red Chief might be fun. Could get serious if I stick too close to the original story, but no one says I have to do that. Framework, that's all. Or a convenient rescue- deus ex machina at work! I'll have to at least have a nod towards a deus ex machina, after all... but I don't dare let it resolve everything!
Ok, I'm moving along. I will be more prepared than last year. More practice doing it every day. Let's see how it all goes. Two days more until the offical sign-up. Next question of course is who will I be there?
Well, the day has ended better than it started, and while I still want to run away from home, I at least want to do something other than curl up into a little ball and whimper. We take our progress where we find it. One of these days I will definitely have to plan a trip to study the dwarves with the backwards feet. I was told their feet were backwards so that no one could track them to where they were going. I have always wanted to know more about these critters. Taking the trip to find out-that would just be cool beyond words.
Guess I'm hitting a mid-life crisis or something. The wanderlust is pretty bad these days. My thoughts all seem to stray to places far away, I need a change in sceneree-ee-ee... Except it's only Tuesday.... Well, that's all folks, at least for today. I'm sticking pretty strictly to the 15 minute thing.
