Ondine She's got everything she needs, She's an artist, she don't look back. She's got everything she needs, She's an artist, she don't look back.

The stutter I have in my writing is getting easier to see. I had help, though, from Meg and Dave--two friends from my writing workshop. They read the first 50 pages of fc straight through and were able to pinpoint the problem: I fall out of pov and over write. Tha-tha-that's all folks. My son had a stutter in kindergarten. The speech therapist said he was such a perfectionist that the words got stuck because he was afraid he'd get them out wrong. We had to slow down our speech, wait for him to find the words, and laugh if anyone made a mistake about anything. After six months, he stopped stuttering. He's still a perfectionist, though, and so is his mother. I don't trust the reader to figure things out from my action and dialogue. I want to make sure they 'get it'. But I just confuse things with all the excess crap and I don't allow them to use their imaginations. So what if their image of a pooka is not quite what I had in mind. Anyways, I am working slowly from the beginning again, trying to catch all the slips in pov and over writing. My son got into Southern California Honors Band. He was so nervous going down for the audition and he still feels he did not do that well. I understand. MICA gave my daughter a chance for early acceptance. She has to have her portfolio sent by January fifth. She keeps freezing and losing focus. I understand. Perfectionism sucks. I want the chromosome for it gone. |
