WIP Wednesday - I'm Hearing Voices Blog Hop!

Day 2 of the "I'm Hearing Voices" Blog Hop is TODAY! :)  HERE are all the details!  Thank you to Cassie Mae and Angie Cothran for hosting this fantabulous event!

From Angie's blog

February 8th - Wednesday - Dialogue Introduction: Have two characters introduce each other using only dialogue—no backstory, no internalization, just dialogue between the two. Max 250 words.

 

These are two characters from my current WIP, Degenerates Deserve Death, some of you met Lorraine during Monday's challenge - the interview - well, this is her foil.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

"Whoa! Who the fuck are you?"

"You shouldn't curse in front of kids."

"Who says? And how old are you?  Old enough to know better than to correct adults, I'm sure."

"I'm nine."

"And obviously you've got an attitude.  Can't say I blame you though, you been here with George long?"

"George bought be when I was five."

"The world isn't going to miss his disgusting piece-of-shit-self"

"Nope probably not.  My name is Taneesha."

"You don't seem too upset about all this"

"What is YOUR name?"

"My name is Lorraine."

"Well, Lorraine, I've been praying for years that somebody would come in here and kill George and rescue me; so as far as I can tell - you are my hero."

"Ah, fuck no.  I'm nobody's hero."

"Your mine and there ain't nothin' you can do to change my mind about that!"

"Well, that just goes to show you how fucked up your head is, normal people don't idolize people like me. You'll need years of counseling, I'm sure."

"Or I could just do what you do, 'cuz you obviously came from a really fucked up place to!"

"Hey! Watch your mouth! Little kids aren't suppose to cuss!"

"Well, how old are you, Lorraine?"

"I'm 22."

"George was seventy-two."

"Yeah, I know how old George was; he was fifty-five when he started with me seventeen years ago."

I started this at the crack of dawn on Wednesday morning, and then I got pulled away by my kids.  Life never let me get back to the computer before I passed out last night - sitting up!  So, I've finished and an posting today.  I apologize to Cassie Mae and Angie for being a bad blog hopper!

I'm Hearing Voices Blog Hop

I signed up for this blog hop and nearly forgot!  I'm really scatter-brained, sorry to Angie and Cassie whose blogs you can visit by clicking on their names.  You can also get all the awesome details for this fantastical idea from their blogs.

It's time for my interview with Lorraine.  I'm really NOT looking forward to this, and neither is she - we are both a bit surly about having to take time out of our busy lives to talk to one another.  So be forewarned, I promise to remain civil; but I can't swear that Lorraine will.  She's a total bitch. You can get to know her a bit better by reading some of my past WIP Wednesday posts, she is the MC from my current novel that I started during NaNo.  Well, here goes nothing!

What is your biggest vulnerability?  Do others know or is it a secret?

"Are you fucking kidding me?  Um, I thought this was serious shit we were going to be talking about, I DO NOT HAVE ANY VULNERABILITIES YOU DUMB ASS!"

Ok, well; thank you for that honest answer?  I guess, how about this one...What do people believe about you that is false?

"Well, I guess that would be that most people that meet me - if they live - think I'm a dyke."

Nice.  Really classy.  Can we try not to offend everyone on the planet? 

"What the fuck do I care about your goddamn readers?"

Right.  Okay, what would your best friend say is your fatal flaw?  Why?

"HA!" she's laughing her ass off, snorting even.

"Oh! That is priceless! I'll have to remember to tell Andre you asked about 'my best friend'; too fucking funny.  Listen carefully, I DO NOT HAVE ANY FRIENDS.  DEFINITELY NO, what do they call them? BFF's?  Too fucking funny."

Well, I guess that means I shouldn't ask you the next question, What would the same friend say is your one redeeming quality?  Why?

"NEXT!"

Final question and then you can leave, What do you want most?  What will you do to get it?

"That's simple.  I want every fucking, goddamn degenerate on this planet who thinks they can fuck with little kids to die.  Painfully.  Slowly.  And I will do ANYTHING to be sure I get them all, it might take me time; but I'll get all those fuckers!

And that is all she wrote, so to speak.  She's gone.  I swear, I love her and hate it at the same time.  Lorraine is a complicated bird, and I struggle to stay true to her because I often want to soften her; make her more palatable.  I want others to love/hate her too; but I fear they won't take the time or energy to see beneath her facade.  Well, we shall see!
