dolariWhile there has been zero progress on the Genevieve front, it's still being worked on in the back of my head.
One of the main problems is story-creating is a purely visual thing in my head. Translating that into words is much harder than just drawing what I see, and writing what is said.
And there's also missed opportunities - in my head, when one of the Genevieves has flashbacks to the original Genevieve, they see themselves as Genevieve. My head was even trying to wrap around how to handle the male Genevieves flashing back to the original female Genevieve without it coming across as goofy, silly, misunderstood or taken in a way that would ruin the verisimilitude of the story.
I spent a lot of energy on something that would likely never see a description in the book.
I think, if Genevieve ever got a movie adaption, that script would be WAY easier to write than the novel.
Hmmm...maybe I should just abandon the rough draft, write the thing as a screenplay, and then adapt from THAT into a book. Dances With Wolves started as a book idea, that was made into a script first, then adapted "back" into a Novel....
