hooks revisited
I'm a cynic when I talk, a romantic when I sing, and a bit of both when I write.
Heh.
Connected the bits for chapter one. Relatively satisfied with my hooks. On to chapter two.
There's some stuff I wrote into chapter one that I'm very pleased with insofar as hinting to themes that will appear later on in the story. I dig that stuff when I read it, so I figure I'll dig it even more when I write it.
One thing I've been muddling over has been gender roles. I am not a girly girl. There were points in my adolescence where I rebelled violently again everything feminine. No pink, no make-up, no fancy shoes. And come to think of it, I still don't like pink. Or make-up. Or fancy shoes. Gimme sweaters, jeans, and sandals, and I'm happy.
Anyway, I'm babbling. Hurray for chocolate!
