How’s your novel coming along?


Sara


It’s not. I abandoned it for now.


I think I bit off more than I can chew.


Now, I’m working on a short story.


That sounds interesting.


Who are the main characters?


I’m not sure yet.


Character development is really important


so I need to give the characters themselves
some serious thought.


Okay, tell me about the general plot.


Is it an adventure, romance, horror story – what?


I haven’t decided that either.


All right. What about the setting?


Is it going to be set in the U.S.?


Hmm, that’s still up in the air, too.


I’m thinking of writing a period story,


but I’m not sure what time period to choose.


That’ll help decide the actual setting.


I’m guessing
you haven’t decided the point of view of the story either,


whether it’ll be told in the first person or third person,
am I right?


You are. I know. I have a lot of think about.


You’ve definitely got your work cut out for you.


I know. I’m just waiting for some inspiration.


Good luck with that.
