Nice little meme that's doing the rounds and since I have haven't talked about writing for a while - here it is:
When it comes to writing, what do you know you're good at, and what aspect of writing are you worst at? (Procrastination is not permitted as either part of the answer.)
Good:
I think I'm pretty good at character - I often pluck people from my life into scripts (often without even bothering to change their names). There's often something about that person that intrigues - to make me want to get inside their head...
Bad:
Endings - in life too as in scripts. I prefer to slip out the back door while everyone is busy. Must really brush up on the 'big finish', climactic stuff. My endings tend to whimper or are open-ended - maybe due to 'travelling hopefully' writing-wise. A bit like forgetting the punch line. Folk wonder if there's more to come or whether they should go home ...Maybe its an Aries thing

I often do that with characters too. I usually change their name though. usually to something starting with the same letter.
endings are a bastard to write.
they are.
I remember that diagram you had up (was it in your shower?) of how the ending should go....

Yeah I remember the colour taupe...nice

I've no idea if the writing is going well but at least I've managed to do something these last two days.

I'm stymied by school holidays right now, but feeling the 'surge'....
so I'm doing smaller pictures - the shop ran out of big brown paper. Damn
Do people object if you use their names? I always change the spelling just a little.
actually El - I did change all the names in one script afterwards..
