Converting a script into a story was a pleasant surprise: it was easy and smoother than I had anticipated, though I ran into a POV issue and I think I will need to strengthen the emotional arc a bit. That's for editing, however!
As I decided earlier, I'm going to start another boot camp session, this one by following "Creating Character Emotions" by Ann Hood, with one exercise chosen from each emotion per day. I've already read the introduction and am ready to start with anger.
... no, I'm not annoyed, that's the first emotion.
About Me
- Lindsey Duncan
- I'm a professional harp performer, chef / pastry chef, and speculative fiction writer from Cincinnati, Ohio. My contemporary fantasy novel Flow is available from Double Dragon Publishing, and my science fiction novel Scylla and Charybdis is now out from Grimbold Books. I've also sold a number of short stories and a few pieces of speculative poetry. I write predominantly fantasy, usually epic and/or humorous, with some soft science fiction. I play the traditional lever harp with a specialty in Celtic music - but I also perform modern and Renaissance tunes. And yes, you read that right - I have a diploma in Baking and Pastry and an Associates in Culinary Arts and am currently working in the catering field at Kate's Catering and Personal Chef Services (Dayton, KY). I am a CPC (Certified Pastry Culinarian) and CSW (Certified Specialist of Wine).
