Posted by VHunter on 7/23/2007, 2:53 pm, in reply to "Re: Outline" We can write it that way, but what I had actually meant was that I would write the flashbacks that Hugh was having (which will be Holmes') & you could do the flashbacks that Holmes would have (which would be Hughs). That might be better so that our character styles woudn't get mixed up. We could do it either way. --Previous Message--

That is going to be so sad....
: Mmm... I should probably give you an outline
: since we were talking about my writing
: Holmes's flash back and you writing Hugh's.
:
: Hugh's family is at the sussex cottage that
: Holmes had retired to almost a century ago
: for Christmas. As always they are the first
: ones there and have a few days till a few of
: the other realatives. It's the morning, Jack
: Holmes has left for the village to pick up
: some presents sent for through the post.
:
: Hugh is at the cottage with his mother. Just
: finished violin practic, talks to his mother
: who has just finished making a few cupcakes.
: She made extra for Hugh's friend Dan who
: Hugh met that last two times they came out
: to sussex. Hugh leaves with two cup cakes
: after giving his mother a note for his
: father about how he believes his friend Dan
: who he saw just the other day is being abuse
: by his father. Hugh then leaves to met Dan
: at a bridge over an extremely old, man made
: aquaduct that leads out to the ocean.
:
: Dan, I would suggest has brown hair and
: eyes. Also he's older then Hugh. Is a
: scapegoat for local children. His fahter has
: hit him in the past, claiming and filing
: reports in the past claiming that Dan has
: been fighting with unknown local boys. Dan
: unfortunately believes that his father does
: what he does out of love because his mother
: was no good and killed herself one winter
: five years ago. Dan has misguided love for
: his father dispite the way he's being
: treated.
:
: So when Hugh confronts Dan about what his
: father is doing and possible police
: envolvement Dan attacks him.
:
: I was thinking, Dan hits Hugh by surprise
: causing Hugh fall down the small bridge the
: snow covered grass, close to the steap side
: of the aquaduct. Dan is attacking Hugh again
: when Hugh bashs Dan in the side of the head
: with a rock as hard has he can.
:
: Dan goes over in the aquaduct and Hugh tries
: to save him. Forced to shore by the cold
: Hugh struggles out of the aquaduct back to
: home. He makes it back just before sucomes
: to the cold.
:
: When he wakes he tells the adults that Dan
: and him were playing/wrestling on the
: snowcover ground when Dan fellover the side
: with Hugh tumbling after him. He tells them
: that he couldn't find Dan.

: Sounds good to me. What else did you have in
: mind?

: Yeah, we could do that.

: Or maybe not even an entire scene, but more
: like a series of disconnected shots....then
: that might prove to be exceedingly difficult
: to write...lol

: If you like we could have a flash forward to
: a
: scene in a future case where one of them is
: in trouble or the other one is caring for
: the other, being the other is injured.

: about the flash back?
