Weekly Goals

I want to write a scene for my novel

It's a girl being fired from a waitressing job
Third person (limited perspective -hers)
language is fairly plain, colloquial
dialogue and fragments of detail.
the focus will be on reactions and actions, consequences.
i will spill into melodrama for sure. Maybe a future edit will curb that - fingers crossed.


Details:
the waitressing job is for a private party
she got the job from a card on a noticeboard in her dorm
the work is being offered by her future bf's mother
the family is wealthy
the girl is getting by with help from her parents, but she feels guilty

Aim:
to establish the character dynamic between the three characters
rich bf/poor gf
disapproving mother
high society/ everyday life
to create an up-against it underdog vibe

Structure: to start with the first big mistake, move onto the consequences,
and end in the dismissal - cigarettes or something outside with bf - shared moment.

highlights: reaction of protagonist to fury of mother and ridicule of guests, the fear on the part of the protagonist of not being able to get through uni, the compassion showed by the bf

I want to sketch this out in three to four drafts for the end of the week. Then I'll save it and leave it until I am ready to see it with writer's eyes. - Also -fingers crossed.
