Trying to force myself to write so I don't go completely stir crazy.
I always wanted to write an interaction between Remus and Andromeda. Simply for the pwenage and verbal bitch slap that would ensue. This could be because my Andromeda is.. Ah.. Well, let's just go with special. And I really want to see how a scene between her and Remus would play out with her active disdain and sheer disapproval of her daughter's lifestyle, much less her dating choices. (poor and werewolf especially. I really think the poor and unemployed part would end up being the bigger problem to her, all things considered. I don't think she'd be particularly thrilled at the Former Gryffindor part, either.)
The Issue? Eight paragraphs, no dialogue. Well, to be fair, only four have Andromeda. But still. No dialogue. At all. I really want to build up an image of what it was this woman is (wow did I kill that sentence or what), but you know how it is with good writing, 'Show them, don't tell them.' I have a conversation between her and a nurse planned out okay, but I just cannot figure out how to have a conversation between her and Remus go. I mean, from her side, maybe, But I just can't imagine what he'd say. Well. I know what she would say, just not how. Much less Remus. Here is the she-beast from the Black abyss who openly disapproves of a relationship he himself had been denying not one year earlier, and disapproves of the exact reasons he himself had obsessed over. What do you say to that? 'Uh. My bad?' 'You know, if we'd had this exact same conversation one year ago..'
I need sleep. Maybe it'll come to me then.
