Major writer’s block
I’m writing a novel consisting almost entirely of dialogue. It only involves 3 main characters:
Rudy: the protagonist, a ludicrously empathetic, depressed teenager, with an eclectic taste in everything pop-culture
Derry: his guy friend, an unintelligent Metal-head, not good with people, fairly caring, but critical
Cath: his girl best friend, and later love interest, basically the same as Rudy, just softer and a touch happier
Each chapter consists of a conversation between Rudy and one of his friends, the Rudy And Cath conversations are serious, and serve a lot of mental insight and purpose. The Rudy And Derry chapters are goofy, non-serious, and fairly playful.
I’m having a lot of trouble writing the latter, but the former are coming along easily, I’m tempted to abandon the whole Derry character, but am afraid to.
