This revision is only a partial from Emily's blog. It was still under construction when I first visited. Thanks Emily!
Have you ever seen the show Scrubs? If you have, you’ve probably noticed that at least half of the show's dialog consists of the inner-ramblings of the lead character.
That's me. Most of the time, I tend to have dialog running in my head. When I'm alone, I narrate the goings-on around me. Before conversations, I predict how they will go, or more precisely how I hope/wish/want them to go. After conversations, I rewind and replay over and over, changing what I did say to what I should have said and wishing for a reset button. After all of this planning and analyzing, the actual conversation just comes falling out in a jumbled avalanche of words that are easily overstepped, confused, stuttered and above all else, drop way to quickly. For anyone who has tripped into a conversation with me, you may have noticed that I talk fast. Guess what? It gets even worse when I'm nervous, excited, anxious or intoxicated. I think that all of this adds up to why I wanted to try my hand at writing. I had thoughts, ideas, plots, snippets of imaginary conversations. And in written form, I could control the speed, and the pace of the conversation. There would be no stuttering, no jumbling- unless of course I purposefully chose to put it in the writing. These all seem like they would be the traits of a writer, right?
