Kate's Week 12


I know it's late, but better late than never. :)

I’ve really gotten behind on the Blog lately, so I have probably will have a mass dump of blogs all in one day, so apologies for that. But better late than never! J

Still really concerned with the fact that my complete draft of my story is short of the 35-page word count, but it is finally starting to come around.

I have finally finished the draft of the Movie Theater Guy section. I hate it! I stopped writing right after she left his house and was leaving off the details of the sex scene so Stef could reflect on them during her ride home the next morning. By the time I got to this scene, I just couldn’t write anymore. This guy. I want this sex scene to be different and while my energy and motivation depleted just to get to this point, I held off of finishing this section and turned my story in to the class as is.

**Spoiler Alert:
I wanted this sex scene to be more about sex and not so much about how hot the guy is. This guy surprised Stef. He was awkward, weird and uncomfortable. But by the end of the night, maybe because she was drunk by then, he surprised her. She was intrigued with him and ends up sleeping with him. Standard one-night-stand. But it makes her think. Why did she sleep with that guy? Was it really worth the risk? But there is also something more, I haven’t gotten there yet. Maybe that is why I stopped writing right before that part. LOL.

The point of Movie Theater guy is that there is really nothing wrong with him. She has a bias against him because she draws all these assumptions of him in the first hour of their meeting. But he is a great guy. She just doesn’t like him to do more than sleep with him.

Movie Theater Guy = good enough to sleep with, but never want to see him again.

How do I convey that? Ha!
