Dialogue with my muse |
JOE: Good morning Calliope. CALLIOPE: Good morning Joe. How was your weekend. JOE: I enjoyed it. On Saturday I worked on my story and on Sunday I relaxed and read. CALLIOPE: Tell me about the story. JOE: Okay. I told you I was working on it, but not furiously. I transferred what I had written to the computer and reviewed what I had written. CALLIOPE: How do you usually write a story? JOE: I usually start with a theme and begin writing. As I progress I develop the characters, plot and ending. CALLIOPE: Did this one work that way? JOE: For the most part. I took a walk after transcribing what I had written. When I returned, I had in my head quite a few ideas about ways to strengthen my presentation. I also had the ending in mind. CALLIOPE: Did you finish it? JOE: Not yet. I plan to today or tomorrow so I will have it ready for the Liftbridge Writers Group tomorrow night. CALLIOPE: When can I see it? JOE: I will post it on Critique Circle and Author's Den probably on Wednesday and let you know when it is ready for your viewing. CALLIOPE: I can't wait. JOE: I'm excited about it too. This is the first short story I have written in some time. Talk with you tomorrow. |
