It’s Just One Thing After Another

Soaps Replicate Life?

I got into watching Suits on Netflix. I’m into season 6, so there aren’t that many shows left, and right now, I have to admit that I’m getting bored.

I have always imagined this sine wave of stuff happening in the books I want to write. We’re going along. Everything is hunky dory, and then BLAM. Something happens. We all recover from that and either go back to normal or to a new normal. Yes, we’ve all done that. Then, events build up again, and something else happens. The hero or heroine deals with it, and you’re on to the next chapter.

You can string the building up along with character building and stretch it all out into more than one chapter, but it happens. Up is up, and down is down.

But what if the punches come too fast and furious, like in a war or with what’s happening right now in Suits? I’m not giving it away, but it’ll leave you breathless. Nobody can seem to get a break.

Then I thought about it. While I had a career and before that, when I was in school, I was busy all day and didn’t get home until the afternoon or early evening. That’s when the evening shows came on. When I was a kid, it was Laramie, Bonanza, Gunsmoke, Dr. Kildare, and Dark Shadows. As an adult, I loved watching Grey’s Anatomy, St. Elsewhere, Counterpoint, Suits, and Vera. There were others, but it struck me a little while ago while I was watching the next crisis on Suits that I’d have heart palpitations if my life was like that.

Then, I realized that it’s been like that for the last few years. My husband is finding it difficult to find a steady job. I said to him a little while ago that I should get accustomed to him finding gigs and get over it. I also need to step up and start bringing some money into the household too. Medium of course, was a bust, but I’m still learning about writing. I do appreciate earning $60 a year, but all it pays is the membership at Medium, a cup of coffee, and a Danish.

So, I suppose that’s the formula. Up and Down…Up and Down until people get sick of it. If I had likable characters (somebody in Spirit just started jumping up and down with their hand up yelling, “Me, me, me!”) Being a psychic is fun. Back to what I was saying, I could develop some characters, have them involved with stuff, have ups and downs eventually, at the end of the book, find a resolution, if not happiness, and start all over with another book.

Okay, so who was hollering, “Me, me, me?” (Note the bold italics part that follows is Spirit speaking.)

That would be me.

Who are you?

Close your eyes.

You’re fat.

I beg your pardon.

No, not fat. Built.

Jesus, don’t you recognize me?

Daniel?

Yes. How did you see me as fat? I’ve got six-pack abs. And a cowboy hat. And I will take my shirt off if you want.

Daniel?

Yes?

Please don’t. I’m still nervous.

You will always be nervous. Even in the midst of happiness, you will always be prepared for the next shoe to drop.

So what?

Use it. You can have somebody be that way in your story.

Well, I do have experience.

How’s this? You have a character like yourself. So, she’s funny, but she’s also sort of neurotic.

What?

You heard me. You’ve said it yourself that you’re neurotic.

It sounds terrible.

Yes, it does, but your character can be nuts and still be likable. It could be fiction lending credence to the idea that even people who are nuts are sensitive and deserve the same life as anybody else.

I’m not that nuts. Plus, I think that is politically incorrect.

If you were still drinking, you would be.

Okay, everybody. This is Pauline again. I think I might need a nap. We’ll see where this goes.

If you are of a mind, you can follow me and get more news from spooks; oh, sorry, I meant Spirit, which also includes fictional characters like Daniel.
