10 words, 10 pages, One New Idea

Completed - 1214 words

I used the first ten pages of my dad's novel Cold Trail and used the tenth word on each page to come up with this idea. Three words stuck together so well, "you", "dead", and "Dallas". So we visited a crazy man who named people after cities. He thought Terese was a ghost and would always say, "You dead Dallas, Texas." It didn't matter what you asked or said to him, he would reply in the same way.

I liked what I wrote. I just had no idea what the point of it was. I like the character and what he could do, but I don't think that he has any place in my current idea. Maybe I can put him in my pocket and save him for later.

I had to write a little earlier than what I wanted to this evening but it was out and I think the effort overall was a better quality than the last few nights.

I have been writing a lot of dialogue recently and too much of it has been back and forth between two characters. I have to work on that. But getting the ideas out right now is the biggest thing. On to tomorrow!
