I rewrote Scene 11, originally in Pete’s POV to Suzan’s POV yesterday.\u00a0 Originally, he bought a sexy, new convertible and daydreamed about the new intern at work.\u00a0 Much of that had to go when I rewrote it from Suzan’s (his wife’s) POV.<\/p>\n
She arrived home after a “meeting” and was blissfully happy and tired.\u00a0 She asked about the car, gave a distracted “That’s nice” and went to bed, savoring the memory of her recent tryst.<\/p>\n
That was the original rewrite.\u00a0 Pretty blase and not much conflict, right?\u00a0 Sure.\u00a0 I could leave it like that, but if it didn’t matter, why have it at all?\u00a0 I’d just about decided to leave it and move on to Scene 12, but last night as I was trying to go to sleep, it occurred to me, “Duh!\u00a0 This is a very easy scene for conflict.\u00a0 She just has to hit the roof when she realizes he’s bought a new car without consulting her.”\u00a0 And I can work in so many of the other frustrations in their marriage that Pete has only thought about.\u00a0 This is the perfect place to toss them out onto the stage.<\/p>\n
So, I got up and scratched the basics into the notebook.\u00a0 I added a little more this morning.\u00a0 And, really, this is something I needed for other aspects of the book, too.\u00a0 I think I still need some finishing touches, but I’m nearly ready to move on to Scene 12.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
