Day Ten: evil plan guide

I've just posted days seven through ten, so be sure to check back so you are caught up. I am awash with creativity right now.

Big decision day today! As I worked out several plot points and characters, I decided to scrap the ghosts. Even though it’s a completely unrealistic story, it’s not unrealistic in THAT respect. No other supernatural beings of any kind to make the ghosts fit. Also, I figured out how it’s going to end! Now I just need to research the physics aspect. And Google the names I have come up with for my characters to see if they already exist. (I learned that the hard way: I one time created a character named Trinity West, and thought to myself, "Man, that name sounds really good. It just flows!" Then I realized that it flowed because it was half the name of the university I went to. Sad face.)

Aside from figuring out the characters, everything has been kind of a random creativity barf, so I don’t know how to include a tidbit here to prove I have been creative today. Also, for those of you who read this feel free to comment on this issue: do you want me to spoil the ending? I don’t know if anyone is actually here for the writing, or just to laugh at me failing at crafts. If it doesn’t matter, I’ll just post whatever I come up with, but if it does, I’ll try to censor it to maintain intrigue. (Although I've already spoiled several major plot points, so I guess it can't be too much of a mystery anymore. But there are still some things you don't know! Mwa ha ha!)

Perhaps for today, I will put a developing scene from early on, post-kidnapping incident. (I’m not supposed to be developing scenes yet, but stuff is just coming into my brain and I don’t want to lose it, so I’m straying a bit from my plot a novel guide. Don’t tell.)


“Greta, I need you to come in today.”
“I’m kind of in the middle of something, here. In case you forgot.”
Goes to work in her evil costume. This happens just after she kidnaps Ben. Murphey and Millar come into the coffee house, “Are you… aren’t you the girl who kidnapped that Steward boy?” Greta hedges, but the old ladies are the ones who spill eventually how gullible he is. Nobody lets him alone. Murphey: “Sometimes I feel bad for the boy…” Millar: “You tricked him into pruning your magnolia!” Murphey: "And I feel terribly!" After this exchange, Greta goes in to the bathroom she’s keeping him locked up in and talks to him, tells him that she knows and that she’s not going to try and persuade him to a life of crime. She just needs people to take her seriously. Comment from him about her still going to work today. Comment from her re: that’s how she found out blah blah blah. Negative comment from him re: nosy town, hates town. Comment from her re: why are you the mascot, anyway? “I don’t want to talk about it.”

Day Ten Highlights: figuring out what’s going on with the stupid ghosts, finishing the plot outline!

Day Ten Lowlights: being super sunburnt and sore-muscelled, bringing all the wrong clothes, not having a name for the dude she’s in love with. (Johnny McNoNameYet will not do for long, I suspect.)

Tomorrow: is tomorrow Tuesday? I am losing track of it all. I couldn’t even remember if this is Day Ten or not, since I’m saving them up for when I get internet access. If it’s Tuesday, it will be more novel. If it’s Wednesday, I think I’ll try soap, or recycled glove squirrel!
