This is MJ, Author, Artist, Analyzer. This is my 10 minute writing session for March
1st, 2024, a Grobug Tale Chapter 15, Part 5.
You'll find that she is not the best critter about to talk to. But she is a great listener,
Widget said. The creature said nothing. Gale Hoot didn't move. Let me introduce you two
properly. Gale Hoot, the intruder. He says he doesn't know his name. I've decided to
call him Hopper because, well, he hops. Gale Hoot turned her head from side to side and
said hop. The creature hopped. Gale Hoot's eyes widened and she bobbed her head. Widget
swirled around Hopper and said, you're going to get a lot more out of the others. And that's
the end of that little section of writing. And I don't really know where I'm going. I
know the character because I put the work into it. I know what Gale Hoot is like, but
I didn't know what that would look like with her interacting. And it's funny, as I was
writing the last little bit of it, I was thinking, you know what? It'll probably be interesting
to put Gale Hoot into a situation where somebody has something on their mind and they need
to talk and they need to spill their guts and she can just be there to listen. So like
I could use her as a plot device to let a character, like just spill anything they need
to spill. If someone needs to get something off their chest or monologue or whatever,
and Gale Hoot can be the one to allow them to do that. I'm even thinking for this future,
you know, Digimon like project where I write just a critter bot island story with just
the critter bots and I treat it as its own independent world with its own narrative,
but the characters are basically the same. But they're just, you know, they're playing
their role in their game and their story. Anyway, going forward with that individual
critter bot island story, I don't know if I'm going to have one kid partner with the
critter bot guardians or if I'm going to have four kids, you know, one partnering with each
one or what, but I'm thinking, you know, I have options there and if I make it a more
complex character, a single character, then they can be having different experiences and
feeling different feelings and dealing with different things at different times and have
enough for the character to do for me to have them be, you know, benefit from, you know,
in a narrative plot kind of way from dealing with Gale Hoot and like just being able to
confess stuff or I might have a gregarious person who's the partner to Gale Hoot or I
might even have a quiet person who's the partner to Gale Hoot and they'll just like share quietness
together and that could be kind of cool, but I don't know exactly how I want to do that.
I don't know yet and people aren't letting me figure that out because that's life. But
anyway, that's the struggle and that's what I'm here for. So until next time, take care.
