My name is Elaine. I’m not going to pretend to be the first one to do anything- because I’m not that good of a liar. The most important thing one can ever know about me, is that I have nothing that important. I have an affinity for international films, glass galleries, and closing doors. I also have an ongoing co-dependency issue with tall, lanky, emotionally unavailable fictional characters. My best jokes come from early Sunday mornings, late Saturday nights, and unintentional double entendres. I don’t make it that way, I certainly can’t change it, however- the question is, are you reading enough comics? I have the occasional good day, though most of my days are littered with bitter remarks, cynical thoughts and of course in respect to the other two, beautiful strangers. I am in between being a writer, psychologist, criminologist, and perpetually failed anthropologist.
And eventually, I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down.

Hm, well good news is you have a lot of room to mess around with plots. Personally my favourite topics to write about are the ones stemming from my own life or films I’ve seen. I also listen to really good music to help get me into a specific mood that I want to evoke in my writing. My sounds tag is basically what I listen to mostly.
While I don’t want to be brash/come across as arrogant about offering you my own ideas, I might as well share some of my thoughts and hopefully you might get some ideas. I would write about a series of exchanges occurring in an art gallery and two couples cheating on each other hmm, I’m not sure. But I like the idea of the ending line being said by one of the cheating partners as “This isn’t over yet, //there are three parts to this act// like a Greek tragedy there are never survivors// only lessons to be learned.”
Perhaps create a character first, or start with a piece of dialogue from nameless characters, or even an ending line you like the sound of, and think “what is the story behind this exchange”. That is my method. Also, the most important thing I ever learnt, only write about things you have experienced or have knowledge/know people who have. That way your writing is more realistic and has a better mood to it.
