This started as a writing exercise as I sat at the coffee shop observing people for character development.
Reading over it one day I decided to write a short story based on the characters. I kept it in the form of a journal.
Haven’t written or studied writing
for a week. The process does make me
think young. It does put me in an
emotional slump if I don’t write…so write!
Make room for writing. Make room
for studying how to write and make room for research. Bought study books and some sort of writing software today. What am I looking for now, a new career as a
writer or a new hobby? Looking for
something, maybe answers. All these
years of working all these years of living, there must be some answer to
something I want to know. But what do I
want to know?
Who will be my character study
today? There, the Coffee Shop Couple –
They are young, but been together
for a while, probably were high school sweethearts before marrying. He is very good looking and in good
shape. She seems to have been pretty
once, maybe the “Prom Queen”. Years have put pounds on her, so many she is on
her way to being handicapped, has trouble walking.
They sit and read, they must make
the coffee shop/book store a regular habit.
I should talk I think I’m a regular now. They comment on their reading but are pretty much in their own
“cell”. Him especially. She makes comments he faintly listens, but
he still loves her, kisses her when she needs his help getting off the chair.
But he is missing something, he lives comfortable but needs a more charged
emotional, physical life, it shows on his face and in his eyes.
How does it happen? How does love move into such drudgery? Shouldn’t we always care, shouldn’t we
always try. What makes passion and
desire take a nap with the one we thought would keep it alive? Do we live too long? Make too many personality changes so we out
grow people, move on from what we felt and thought was our life dream. Do our social rules stop us from letting our
human side live as it was meant to live?
Make note: examine humans, their daily social routine and desires, both controlled and non-controlled. Get more coffee...
