That’s one thing I am totally horrible at.  Actual conversation writing scares the crap out of me, but now that Rachel’s given me a few pointers, it’s getting better.  Why do we fight so much?  It’s pointless.  I guess we wouldn’t have a plot if there was no conflict, but still!  I hate it!  All the psychological non-print things that go on in fights could have it’s own fight, but it’s so hard to convey that into words.  Just plain conversation is hard enough!

 

Ashley and Patrick’s first fight’s rough draft is done, but it’s got a lot of edging to be done, as does the entire rest of it all.  I’m not looking forward to it.

 

Different people act differently in situations, it wouldn’t be near as detailed and exciting if we all just fumed and walked away.  Patrick is a guy that doesn’t do this; he means what he says all the time (hence my new Patrick-isms) and doesn’t necessarily wants to say it all the time.  He tries to hold back, but sometimes he forgets to think, and that can hurt people.  Ashley on the other hand doesn’t always mean what she says, and she tries to end the argument as quickly as possible by doing so.  The more hurtful the comment, the more time she has to think of her apology.  Ashley doesn’t deal with serious situation easily, but that slowly gets easier because of Patrick.

 

Now all I’ve gotta do is actually work on it.  Great…
