story

I am sorry for my lack of posts recently. I have been intending to post the first chapter in a story that I am writing, but I have found that though it is easy to write, it is an extremely difficult task to write well. Usually when I write, as with this post, I can go as fast as my fingers will type, but with the story I am having a very hard time and have recreated several characters when they suddenly start doing things I don’t like. These figments of my imagination are continually rebelling against me. My biggest hang-up thus far is that when I make my characters say exactly what I want them to communicate, the dialog becomes very jerky and unnatural. I will keep plugging away at it in my spare time but at the rate I am going it will take a life time to complete the entire plot.
