Writing Practice 28: An object that cannot be stopped

Note to self: One thing you have to improve on with your writing is spelling and grammar. Re-reading these entries, I found wrong words picked, reused word and blah blah blah. Gotta clean that up.

Note right back to self: Go fuck yourself. Don't criticize me on that right now. I said this blog was my god damn scribble pad and that's exactly what I'm using it for. I'm jotting down an idea as it forms and I'd rather catch the flow of it than worry about making sure every letter is in the right place. This is the brainstorm part, remember. When "I" re-read this blog "I" will know what "I'm" talking about. Thanks for your note and all, I'll watch that, but I'll hopefully be paying an editor soon to clean that shit up for me. 

Note re-back to self: Jesus, ease up. I'm just logging something for you to pay attention to in the future or as you go. Something I've noticed that could be better. You wanna be a better writer I'm writing down where you have to improve so YOU can read it later and YOU can do whatever the hell YOU want with it.

Note to self: I know, I'm just sayin'.
Note to self: I know. I'm just sayin', too.
Note to self: I know.

Random questions are good to ask about an idea. Think about the idea from all angles, even bizarre and nonsensical angles. It's a way to spend some time with the idea and really get to know the idea. I don't know too much about Richard and Adam so far, but I asked myself out of sheer curiosity:  "Who would win in a fight? Adam or Richard."
Well, at first I said Adam.
If it comes to fists, Adam takes Richard down.


But Richard's smart.
He might be able to outsmart Adam.
So, in a fight Richard might win, because he'd lead Adam into a trap or something.

I figure it'll be more fun to write the thing if Adam simply cannot be stopped.
I've said Adam is a villain but I have yet to call Richard the hero.

This gives me two fun, creative options for an ending.
Either Adam learns something by the end and decides to stop himself
OR
He succeeds.

I can play with this premise as I write the story.
It's like a race, right?
Do your best to evolve Adam quickly enough to have him to stop himself by the end.
OR
Fail, and have him succeed.

Neat.
I asked a bit of a fun question about my idea so far and it fired a creative arrow that flew right to the end of my story.

I should ask more of these questions!
Now, who would win in a Disco-Dance Off during a John Travolta Impersonation Contest?
Hrmmmmmm....

...it's gotta be Richard, right?
Yeah, Adam would take it too seriously and try way too hard.
