My brain is so full of a number of people -

I was true to my word. I stayed away from Blogland and Twitter today, until I had worked on my story for what seemed a respectable period of time. Of course, in the meantime, life came rolling along and took me away from the computer altogether, and by the time I got back, the day was nearly gone.

Never mind. It felt good to write. It felt good to think inside a story. I've been doing that to some extent by writing Marie's blog. This was just one more way of getting out of my own head and into a character's. No, that's not right. It was a way of grabbing another one of the characters in my head and talking to her, one on one. Angela, the heroine I found at Creative Writing Prompts, is nothing like Marie. Maybe I should let the two of them meet somewhere - in a bar, over Scotch, maybe. They could compare notes. I could eavesdrop. Marie is very left-brain oriented ( so she must originate in my right brain, right?) - and Angela, who looks rather like Julianne Moore, is creative and a little crazy. Come to think of it, Angela would drink the Scotch, but Marie would want a very dry Bombay martini, thank you.

While I was away today, John Hayes's Robert Frost's Banjo celebrated its first anniversary in high style. Happy anniversary to John and Eberle and RFB.
