I’ve had a story on the brain of late.<\/p>\n
The story… well, I’d call it “emotionally bleak.” It’s a story of great sorrow, and sometimes I “feel” the characters in my head as I’m working through the plot permutations.<\/p>\n
I sketched out a scene while riding the subway recently.<\/p>\n
Today, while riding the subway, I sketched out another. A sequel, in a way, to that earlier scene.<\/p>\n
One of the story’s scenes, at least as I see them in the outline I’m assembling, involves an autopsy.<\/p>\n
What struck me, with gale-like force, was how to present<\/i> the autopsy.<\/p>\n
Or rather, how to present its findings<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Not to sound… daft<\/i>, but I found a charming, even whimsical<\/i>, way to present the autopsy’s findings.<\/p>\n
What’s more, I began to see how this could tie into the story’s conclusion, at least as I see it. It sets some character moments in motion, that will give this “emotionally bleak” landscape the story explores an upbeat ending, believe it or not.<\/p>\n
I like the scene, as I wrote it out. I “heard” the Doctor’s voice clearly. A bit avuncular, a bit saddened by the circumstances. Yet he had an opportunity to share his knowledge and experience with a prized pupil. I liked it.<\/p>\n
It’s going in the folder, with the other sketched-out scene. It’s possible that these scenes won’t survive, though I will<\/i> need scenes like<\/i> them.<\/p>\n
