JE 33 Progression

I've had the idea for my final project since the second assignment - short short story - when I crammed a whole bunch of information into 1,500 words.  I seem to be going through a complicated process to get the story out.  I write a bit, hash some more out in my head, take some notes. Think about themes and symbols.  Get to know my characters needs and wants.  Their fears, expectations.  Their flaws.  Idiosyncrasies.

The plot is proving more difficult.  I have scenes, but they don't fit together, at least not yet.  I wonder if my mind knows something it's not telling me. 

The main character is most like me, making it difficult to write.  And impossible to post.

But I keep clicking away...
