One very valuable thing I realized today was that people really do not say what they are thinking. Of course, this is second knowledge to me, but whenever I'm writing, I tend to make the characters say too much. I guess it's because whenever I'm writing, I'm writing down whatever floats through my head...of which, most are from dreamland. No one goes around speaking their mind. (what if...of course, then the world would be a less enjoyable place to live. what would happen to the mystery? Then of course, it would be easier to take advantage of people...and we all know that's not a good thing...haha I'm thinking of Richard right now.)
Like Ian has said, a character's physicality is very important. I've been looking over my characters, trying to figure out each of their separate presences. I think Ratcliffe should be hungry...if you know what I mean. I think he's the type of guy who would take enjoyment out of killing people. I have this strange impulse to dance or at least do something rhythmical while I'm making my death march over to Hastings.
I was interested by the whole status thing. I feel like I definitley understand my characters better now. I never thought about the status chain before. It makes sense.
Today felt so slow. Like molasses...haha...peach molasses...I was excited for the costume change. Sadly, I feel partially naked. Only Elizabeth has a costume. My goodness! I really hope Ian finds something for me that I can easily pull over my dress or otherwise, I suggest the Richards be prepared to stand up and Dun Dun Dun Dun.
That one tongue twister is really hard!
