ivyblossomDo you ever get the feeling, while you're writing, that you're writing from the wrong point of view?
I've decided that Harry isn't all that easy to write at all. I understand what he's thinking, but it's just that everything is so surface that there really isn't much to say. Everything just turns into a dissertation on how bad the Death Eaters are, or how restless he feels, or something like that.
Like.
I can't get him to ponder much. He's just kind of, "la dee da, I'm at school, la dee da, I like flying, la dee da, I got a nice letter, I wonder who it's from, la dee da..." I guess I should have given them a school plot. Like, I'm sure Voldemort is trying to kill Harry right now, as he does in every other year, but I just don't feel like plotting all that out. I thought perhaps Harry could have a semi-ordinary school year for once. Silly me.
"Hmm, la dee da, I got a nice present, la dee da, there's Malfoy staring at me again, I wonder what he's plotting? La dee da."
Oh Harry. *facepalms*
