Ruler on the wrist
Jul. 5th, 2006 11:32 pmGot the old ruler on the wrist from Lis - things are a little too descriptive and I've been forced to do a major re-write. Oh bugger. I don't see what the difference is between skirting the issue but letting you know exactly what's happening and telling it like it is. Hmmph. Damn editors. It's 100% fiction, I'm the first to admit it and I've stated it repeatedly. If you want me to change character names to Mike, Joe, and Bob I can. Oh well, so now I'm stuck trying to figure out how to move the plot out of the bedroom so I can have the story not stumble. Unfortunately, with how the two main characters are, their only privacy is their little bunk and that's where all the talk/relationship stuff goes on. And time is precious, so they're having it off at the same time. Grr.. talk about writing oneself into a corner. Got a few chapters of padding before I need to do another massive edit. Should buy me a few days time.
How the hell am I going to do this? And make it work?
I could just say 'censored' at the graphic bits, leaving in the important dialogue. It'll end up like "I never knew he did drugs." Censored "Yeah, boinking Jessie too" Censored. Kiss nibble lick Censored "I'm gonna fire him" censored. How ridiculous. It's starting to look like a White House Freedom of Information Act report, why the hell even bother? I didn't ask for 100 pages of black sharpie.
Adding insult to injury, the Yankees just whooped the Indians in American baseball. Missed last night's game of course where the Indians beat the Yankees 19-1.
