I Already Know Exercise

Completed - 1355 words.

I wanted to focus this writing exercise on a character I am planning for my novel. His name is Nicoli. My novel idea had started out so differently. Nicoli is a recent brainstorm. I came up with him about a week or a week and a half ago. So really recent. But I think his character is important and will add the twists and turns that my previous ideas lacked.

But being so new in my head made me very unfamiliar with how he would be. I took this and wrote a scene between he and my main character Terese. I know that this scene, or something very similar will take place in my novel. I really wanted to have a chance to get his physical appearance out on a page and see how it fit. Nicoli is that, character who knows a little too much about everything and is therefore very shady. I think my description might be a little too stereotypical but I will have to come back and re-read that section later. I think my current description makes him sound like a over the hill hockey player.

I also got a chance to work on how he will talk. I want it to be, different than others. He talks perfect English but phrases things as a foreigner would. That is the best way I can explain it. I liked how it came out, at least initially.

Ok enough about that. I found a pretty cool writing website here. Check it out if you have a chance. So good topics and inspirations.
