I’ve been struggling with a story that came to me several months ago. Actually, the character’s voice was so loud I had to write down what she was saying. The weird thing is I realized she was speaking in first person. I’ve never written a first person story before. To be honest, I’m not sure that I can write one, but this character is very insistent. Anyway…I’ve been trying to figure out how she got herself into her current situation. I knew it was over a good-looking man, but I couldn’t figure out how the story would end. (I have to know the ending and beginning before I can write.) And today it came to me. Well actually, she told me. I’m thrilled. I can go back to writing the story now. You have no idea what a relief this is to me. I kept hearing her Jersey accent in my head. It’s hard to say shut up to someone like that. LOL!
