Okay, I just made a newbie mistake in writing something, and all I can say is it is because it is almost five in the morning and I have been up all night.
So, what did I do? In writing first person narrative I was so fussy in making sure I stayed in first person (which I HATE to write) that I missed a small action that was GLARING as soon as I hit send and could no longer fix it.
The problem… well… I was adding to a write along story over at Writing.com and added a sequence where a character is reacting to another one and I typed…
(drumroll please)
……………………
“I know it sounds dumb, Jake,” Max’s eyes roll toward the ceiling, “but you’re two inches tall. How do you explain it?”
…………………….
Yes, that character’s eyes just popped out of his head and rolled through the air toward the ceiling. Or at least that is how it reads. ::pounding head on desk:: Why, oh why, do I only see things like that when I can no longer fix the error of my tiredness?
I think I best go sleep now. You can read the whole scene I wrote, or better yet, read and add to the entire interactive story at Writing.com yourself.
