can't sleep
I've got new neighbors who just moved in downstairs with a few screaming monsters toddlers and I can't sleep for all the noise. I have a very short tolerence for other people's childeren (and seeing as how I have none of my own, this would mean *everyone's* children) and realizing this made me decide not to be a teacher after all and swear off kids of my own. I knew the walls were thin in this apartment, but I can acctually hear some guy SNORING through the floor. I can hear every bloody word they say, have to listen to their tv and screaming monsters babies, and feel like I'm going insane. Maybe my story will be about a pissed off single girl who murders the whole family living below her.
Or maybe not.
What do three of your characters do for a living? (Doesn't have to be your protagonist, just any three characters)If they have a job, what sort of job? Is it a career? Did they go to college? Are they in college? If they don't have jobs, are they students? Are they bums living off their mothers?
*Bonus*: How often does it rain in your setting? Are your characters used to wet weather? Do they live in an arid environment? A rainforest?
Leigh- works in record/bookstore (really need to settle on which here soon). Some community college, but she felt rather aimless, still does.
Ed-banker by day, cross dresser by night. Will most likely continue to do both for the rest of his life. Ed never went to college, started out working for the bank as a teller and worked his way up to Branch Manager. So far, no one he works with has caught wind of his night job.
Jack-line cook. Never went to college because he never graduated from high school. Struggled with dyslexia and is too embarrassed to admit it to his friends or to try and pursue a GED.
Don’t think weather is going to play a significant role in the story. Although as I type this, I am picturing the opening scene of the book (do or die) and there is thunder. And lightening.
