I'm noticing that lately my practice included conversations with children. This is weird since I have two cousins, one three years old and the other one and a half visiting my family. Even if the conversations are completely made up, they all resemble my life at the moment. I really don't want my friends or family reading this. I don't feel comfortable with them knowing that I write about them every night.
Another thing I noticed; I'm starting to begin and end in the middle of a conversation. Before each had a clear beginning and ending. Now, it seems as if they are cut off or go nowhere. I don't know why.
AHHH! This is day 29 ( it says 17 because I started from day 1 again about halfway through) One more until a full month ( even though I should be at around day forty) Whoo hoo.
Person B: No it was nine o clock when I left. And then I put you in bed... Hmm you used to love that.
Person A: No, I like it shaked.
Person B: Shaken.
Person A: Can you make me another one?
Person B: What? No. Since when do you like it shaken?
Person A: Since forever. I don't liked it mixed.
Person B: Well, why don't you get you sippy cup and put it inside so that you can shake it.
Person A: It broke memember?
Person B: What? No it didn't. It's in the cabinet, go get it.
Person A: See? It's broken.
Person B: When did that happen?
If you look at scenes in movies, they always begin "in" a bit and end "in" a bit. In other words, let's say it's a scene in a kitchen - we don't begin with people walking into the kitchen, and end when they leave, the scene we show the audience happens inside of that entering and leaving. It is very sophisticated to write scenes "inside" and just give us what is important. You have a really nice talent for this. I think this practice has been great for you.
