Punishment

I think I am being punished for all the times I have told another writer in the throes of block or frustration: "Just write. Just sit down and write and it will come. Write crap. Write the cheesiest, romance drivel you can think up, but write."

I'm doing that and the beauty is apparently buried much more deeply than I realized. See, just like in life, with my characters I make snap judgments. In the first draft I don't generally know them all that well, and I make assumptions about them that later turn out to be wrong.

Okay...more later. I have to do some real work now.
