This manuscript though is proving to be a toughie. I want to
make my female lead less of a wimp and get her to take the lead, take control and
drive the story forward. My male lead though, won’t relinquish control, and although
you might think that would least to tension, and conflict within the story,
which would be good, no, my pretty, sassy, intelligent thirty year old is just going
along with it, letting him control the situation, and enjoying the ride.
Now, I have no problem with any of my characters enjoying
themselves, after all, that is what life should be all about, but I wish I
could get her to take over, and dominate him, instead. And for those of the
more prurient mind-set, I don’t mean dominate in the classical BD meaning, I
mean take control of the situation and not let him go where he wants.
Seeing as this is a bit of a road movie style story, with
the twist that they end up back at home every night, that’s more important than
you might think. I guess tomorrow is another day, and in this case, the
tomorrow I’m referring to is tomorrow in the story, not my Sunday morning.
