The Inner Journey
Today I went to the Indian Creek Café to write. They were very nice about letting me take up room at one of their tables (of course I bought coffee and garlic bread - that helps)... and I went through one of Alicia Rasley's outstanding articles about writing. I did the one called "The Internal Journey" ... detailing Alyssa's inner journey from being a very self-centered young teenager to becoming a young, but more mature, wife and mother. After six pages in longhand I knew my character a lot better -- not only her relentless march toward strength and maturity, but also her quirks, misbehavior, and shortcomings.#
