Parker is scum
not really.
This chapter is mainly centered around relationship growth, especially with the two main characters, Emily and Parker.
During this chapter, we are focused around Parker and how he has left the Brothel and has gone off, pretty much forgetting about Emily. He comes back to the Brothel and never speaks to her.
I enjoy abusing my characters. I like the explosions of emotions and sadness. This is the chapter where I am going to have so many things happening. Bruno, which is Rosemary's main man that comes and "visits" her, is another big part of this chapter, as well.
He is not only Parker's best friend, but he also turns out to be the first person Emily ever sleeps with. This is a big moment, due to Emily's innocences and timidness of the whole situation. I want Parker to find out and him grow more protective and caring of Emily and this will cause a lot of conflict between Parker and Bruno, in the end.
Honestly though, I do feel like I have gotten better. Sara is really helping me.
She helps my writing not be as awkward, especially the speaking parts, when people are conversing with one another and she always reads over my things when I post something.
But, I don't really get much help from the class. Yeah, Nana and Ben have really encouraged me, at the beginning to go hard on this, but as far as the lessons, I don't feel like I am getting what I need from it.
Maybe, its because I already know most of the things that you are teaching and I am reaching for much higher things than just writing humor/comedy, but the Persona is something that I am excited to learn more about.
It might help me with Parker and Bruno's characters.

Excerpt;
There,
Emily stood, staring into her bedroom. A few of the women were swooning over
Parker, making sure he was all right and giving him kisses and whatnot. Emily gritted her teeth. That was her bedroom.
That was her privacy area. She felt so violated and those women knew what they
were doing was wrong.
“Oh,
Parker,” one of the girl cooed at Parker and the others were wrapping their
arms around the male’s frame, then they all turned to Emily, knowing that she
was watching, writhing in pain and anger.
Emily
stomped in there and looked at each other them. She had so many things that she
wanted to say to them, but she could not find the words to articulate herself
to sound somewhat more intelligent than them, so instead, she sat the cup of
Ale down, on the side table and pointed to the door. “Out. Now,” her voice was
stern, which was odd for the young, soft-spoken girl.
The
girls scoffed and stood up, stomping their way out of the room. Parker, the
whole time, felt a bit awkward and definitely looked extremely uncomfortable.
He looked up at Emily and frowned a bit. He knew what had happened really did
upset the girl; he could read it on her soft, freckled face. He stood up,
ignoring the Ale that had been brought for her and grabbed her face. He stared
into her eyes, their eyes met in a very intimate moment. Parker was quiet, for
a moment, and then they both burst out, into laughter together, at random.

With this excerpt, I am trying to show a bit more of an aggressive Emily, though she really isn't aggressive or out spoken to begin with. As well as, Parker and Emily's first, real interaction together. I feel like, here, Parker views Emily as a little sister, but down the road, I want their relationship to really blossom into something amazing.
Needs some explanation. What were you trying to do here?
ReplyDeleteBe careful of "loved her to death." This is a cliche.

You are very concerned with the emotions of your characters and take great joy in describing how they feel. Try a scene in which the characters' actions speak for themselves. Challenge yourself to allow the reader to guess at the emotions of your characters without detailing them in your writing. Keep working!
