Writing Practice 12: So, why does he like that girl?

I dunno.
I can't think of a reason.
Maybe I can think of one that's personal to Richard.
Maybe I can suggest a reason and not say one.

Show, don't tell, right?

I'd also like to explore lazy writing.
I like to give anything merit, really.
Lazy writing is still writing.
So, even if it's lazy, no good, shitty, whatever - it's writing.
And writing ANYTHING is good.

It could be a style, lazy writing.
I wonder if I could do entertaining "lazy writing"

Why does Richard like that girl?

1) Because her theory about supernova's was impressive. I'd explain it to you, reader, but it's way too complicated. Anyway, it was awesome. And totally right! It'd blow your mind - IF you went to school for physics for, like, eight years.
2) Because her voice has a cute little squeak to it and it reminds Richard of squeezing air out of balloons.
3) Even better, because she's got a picture of her kid on her desk and the kid is holding a balloon. So, of course, Richard connects.

RECORD SCRATCH!!!!

Fuck that idea. I mean, there's a lot of potential for stuff to happen with that situation but it's just too... i dunno... "Airplane Movie", you know?

New 3) Because she likes him. Could be as simple as that. She likes him, that feels nice so he likes her.

Not fair...
Too easy. See, now I'm already out of lazy writing mode and I'm back to working on this story.

This illustrates a VITAL point.
To reaffirm an earlier statement - writing makes me want to write.
Even if I start silly, I'll end up in the mood to do some good work.
So far, this whole blog has been a segmented brainstorm as I practice writing in order to better write what I'm brainstorming.

Ok, sorry to break the mood. Don't mean to make track 4 hip hop while tracks 1, 2 and 3 were all country - but I'm now more interested in seriously investing in the story I've been investing in.

I've written and I feel like writing!

why, Why, WHY does Richard like this girl?

What's her name?

Olive?
No.
She's a cute scientist girl.
Well, is she cute? Maybe he's stunning in her attractiveness.
What's her race? What's her background? 
She's a scientist, she's gotta be younger and Richard thinks she's attractive and interesting.

Richard would be attracted to her primarily through her mind. Or perhaps through her feelings.
But his attraction would be deep, first, then it would pull back to the surface.
He'd look at her and see so much more than her physical features.
She's attractive because she's.....

Intelligent?
No. Too easy.
Playful?
No. Yes and no. But no in this case.
Creative?
........ yes.
YES!
She's creative. Creative with cosmology.
She's a lateral thinker when it comes to how the universe works.


What's her name?
Myra.
Nah, too porno.

K? K-k-k-Kendra?
Kyla?
Keely?

Keely? Is that her name?
Nope. It's Jenna.

You know what? This is taking too long. She's "that girl" until SHE makes me think of a name.

But, yes - to bring it back to the title, Richard likes her because she's creative.
That is the driving force behind his interest in her.
