Where all my time goes to…. And when I plan to have a writing day something always interrupts it. So lesson here is use whatever time you have and see writing days as bonuses.
How I can worry for the world and others just sail through life never seeming to care. Again could get useful characters out of this and set up clashes between the different types.
Why and when a character suddenly develops a life of their own. Sometimes you set up the character but then they have a habit of telling their creator they want to act in ways contrary to what the author thought. I’m always pleased when my characters take off but I sometimes wish I could see further ahead of the actual moment when it’s going to be. Should a writer be surprised by their creations like this? Should I just be able to time such take-offs better?
When it was exactly Humpty Dumpty realized that being an egg and jumping off the wall were mutually exclusive statements. Also why it didn’t occur to him the impact on the ground when he landed was not likely to have good effects. It’s no good blaming all the King’s men here.
How the Invisible Man was never “spotted”. What was to stop someone from cannoning into him? Nobody ever spots everybody around them!
Why people didn’t scream back at Violet Elizabeth for being totally aggravating. A child who screams and screams until they are sick is highly unlikely to be popular. Why no realization of this? Strong memorable character I admit but for the wrong reasons. I like there to be at least one redeeming feature in any character and I can’t see any here.
Why Dick Dastardly didn’t check out the credentials of his inventor pal in Stop the Pigeon before employing him. It would have saved much hassle. Should act as a reminder to me that at least some of my characters ought to have basic level common sense.
