Mercy! Mercy! That Dang Nabed PERCY!

Ping Pong or Giving Each Their Space?

I have roughed out Charles' POV for the HSP final exam. (I mean really roughed out) It is more like a thread than a first draft. In order to write the two POVs I'll take the paragraphs and now write one beneath the other layering in Edith's POV, at the same instant as Charles. When I finish I'll separate the two and instead of alternating them give each a separate space. Anyway this is the plan.

I have chores to do and Indoor flying tonight. I will be thinking about how this will work throughout the day and adding to the blog and Work in Progress as I find time. I'll also be carrying my notebook so I don't forget ideas as they come to mind.

I want to have a rough draft by COB Sunday. That will give me a week for editing. It takes me as long to finish a piece as it does to do the first cut. Is that just me or do others have the same timeframe between draft and final product? The worst thing I can do is post too early. On WDC readers tend to only give you one look.

As I write I'll keep repeating to myself.... a man sees it as a door, a woman a window. My goal is to show the reader my perceived notion of the difference in perspective. Since I'm a man with a heterosexual orientation I have first hand knowledge... however what a woman sees I can only speculate about. Still I have seen a few woman writers who could portray a convincing man and a few men who seemed to get it right regarding a woman. Is this confusing or what...?
