The "And" Writing Exercise

Completed at 1252 words.

I was excited all day looking forward to sitting down at my writing time and getting to work. I had a long day at work and it somewhat drained me and right before it was time to write I was worried that it just wasn't going to come out and I was going to give it a try.

It came out alright. Reading over it quickly, it could be written better. But the point is, it came out. And I think it came out alright. It is a conversation between two of my main characters in my novel that I am thinking of from NaNoWriMo. I don't think it is a scene from my book. I just wanted to try writing some dialog between the two.

The man character, Evan, is hard working but a little eccentric, but in a good just slightly peculiar way. He is discussing why he and his girlfriend are not together any longer. He says that his ex-girlfriend was a red delicious when he is looking for a honey crisp...I told you, he's a little peculiar.

Here is a couple of lines that when I wrote them came out just right. Funny and simple.

"Do you really compare women to apples?"
"Yes, is that strange?"
"Very, very strange Evan."

I was surprised that I wrote more this evening than my first two efforts. Before I sat down I thought that I would only be able to come up with a couple pages of stuff. But it flowed really easy and the time went by quickly. I know that it won't always go so well. It really does make me excited for the coming weeks to see what I can do.

And I have figured out I have seven weeks until NaNoWriMo. I will have to adjust my writing schedule that I posted yesterday to account for another week. I will do that later however.
