Comment on Characters on A Wire: A Study of HBO’s “The Wire” by Courtney

Some of your information is incorrect. First Chris did not approach the kids with money. It was Monk. Secondly Michael’s step father did not demand him to pay him money from the street to stay in the house. He told him he could no longer hold his mother’s DSS card (welfare money) and that he would take care of it from now on. Also if you ever read the commentary from the creator he said that Chris was indeed molested in his childhood.

That is a really good idea. I write in a quiet pub with a notebook and pen, this also reduces Internet distraction.

Plot…yeah. Have you read Save the Cat? I found it useful when it comes to plot.

Very good comparison! Right now I am stuck with the opposite problem. I know my characters but am struggling with the plot.

That’s an interesting point, Kristi. A little encouragement goes a long way. I might give that a try, keeping it vague. Thanks for sharing that!

Oh no! That’s not good. Did you end up not writing it?

I’m quite particular about who I share with, and what I share. Because I consider all of it subject to change, and in few cases is sharing useful. But sometimes it helps to have someone say, when I’m doubting, “that’s really cool, I can’t wait to read it.” Those moments of “is this worth my attention?” sometimes do come up, and it’s nice to have the “that sounds cool” ‘s to go on when they do. 🙂

Sometimes I share, but like you, I worry it will kill the story for me. I learned that lesson when I decided to fully outline a novel. I finished it and then had no desire to write it because I already knew what was going to happen.
