The problem with impassioned speeches in movies is that they never show the aftermath. When the speaker is done verbally bitchslapping everyone, and then goes "So yeah...I'm done now" and shifts awkwardly from foot to foot, before shuffling off to hide behind someone.
I'm at that point in my novel now. (Which, by the way, has changed topics yet again. It's a third party's fault, I swear.) At least this one is already halfway done, so I'm actually finishing something, which is good.
Charlotte has just finished effectively saying "If y'all don't get your heads out of your asses, I'm going to kill you", and now...I should probably just end it there and start a new chapter. Because I can't see her doing anything else but turning pink and skedaddling. Though really, a little bit of awkward humour might be called for, given the situation. Probably would kill the tone though.
My husband and I talked last night about his level of support, or lack thereof. He seems to get some things now, so hopefully he'll stop being a pest. Unfortunately, his version of support is to try and stick his nose in. While I appreciated his help in thinking of movie clips to watch to inspire above character rant, once I open the flood gates to communication, he doesn't know when to shut up and let me write.
I do love a happy medium, as the Doctor would say. I'd also love to find one.

ReplyDeleteThat´s a great first step towards medium...
It is, that's true.
