What level of taster are you?
I'm a Non-Taster, which is a little disappointing. I knew I wasn't a Super-Taster, but I thought I at least ranked as average.

After plowing through 4 chapters this weekend, I hit the brick wall of "the chapter that needs to be rewrit whole." Then I thought about it and thought about it, and I think I can pull in some stuff from the old draft. Still going to need a lot of tweaking, but it will save some time. And a scene I had wanted to add the first time through that didn't fit, will fit in now.
That being said, I still need to create the first scene, which is a decisive argument. I've discussed writing arguments before. They're hard, because arguing characters need to break the rules of argument in that they're going for the jugular/fighting dirty while at the same time not repeating themselves, sputtering, and engaging in all those other verbal hangups that occur when strong emotions are involved.
This is a major argument. What remains afterward is irretrieveably broken. Timing, words, order of escalation--all matter a lot. And I thought it would be loud, but I don't think it will be. It's loud at the start, but then things go quiet. Because it's all been said before, and the parties involved finally realize that it would be a waste to say it again.

![]() You may whine at times, but you've developed a thick hard shell (like that of a crab). You are strong willed and persistent - until you get what you want. You never shy away from a fight, even when things get dangerous. Mentally sharp, you are starting to master the elements of mind manipulation. Star wars character you are most like: Luke Skywalker |
