Fast Draft workshop: Day 11

Since it was Friday, I figured I could squeeze some writing. The way I saw it was that I'd do it in small sections of 20 minutes with breaks between them as I took into consideration the amount of typical interruptions I usually get at work. After I was done with the payroll paperwork, I hunched before my computer, and inserting the jumpdrive into the USB connection, I opened the file with the story I've been working for the Fast Draft workshop. I know I said yesterday I was bored with the characters' dialogues, but I decided to give it a last try. I've been pondering the problem, and I think it was a matter of not having a clear idea of the basic GMC in it. Usually I figured out the GMC of either the hero or heroine, and then I built upon that, making either the other react. So last night before I went to bed, I brainstormed GMC's for both the hero and heroine (notice that I've not found the perfect names for them yet), and jotted down a possible ones. This morning I woke up with a slightly clearer idea of the GMC and story line as a whole, so I was hoping to use that to tighten the dialogues (even if we're not suppossed to edit at this stage of the workshop) and see what happened. When I was getting ready to start my first little section, my cellphone rang, in which became a long series of cellphone calls from my mother followed by numerous trips between my new house and the hardware store. By the time I returned to my office (two and a half hours later), I had lost all inspiration. Pages written for Fast Draft workshop: 0
