The school semester is keeping me busy with things to get done, but at the beginning of this month
Rachel Heffington of
The Inkpen Authoress announced a new monthly blog event for writers. I had to attempt to participate. It is called
Chatterbox. It is intended to help you get to know your characters better by writing dialogue. Every month Rachel will put up the conversation topic for the month and you can write a conversation between some of your characters concerning this topic. After you have posted the months entry on your blog, you head over to The Inkpen Authoress and link-up your post with the entry.
This month's conversation topic was coffee. I chose two characters from a western of mine and it is highly probable that this conversation is going to make it into the official draft.
“Along with his horse and gun, coffee is a cowboy’s best friend.” Joe poured coffee into two mugs.
“That’s under debate,” Jackson said, taking one of the tin mugs. He watched Joe.
Joe shrugged. and stared into the campfire. “When you’re tracing outlaws for days on end it is.”
The fire lighted up Joe’s face, unmasking it from the darkness and forbidding it to hide.
