AMBIVALENCE

 I like ambivalent characters. I have written about an actor ambivalent about fame. Shakespeare's "Hamlet" saw his old society passing and a new one coming. He was stuck in the middle. It can be mentally draining if one is stuck between this pole.

Putting folks in such a dilemma makes for them struggling to resolve something they really have no control. That is the sticking point-no control. His/her ambivalence makes for a compelling story in that they must decide which direction to go.

COMPOSING

 I am composing a story about a septugenarian trans woman who is having an impact on the lives of numerous people. I haven't noticed many stories about senior citizens living a full and active life. Maybe there have been. I just have to look further into it.
