The novel Blindeness is a fictional story about a epidimic that is spreading through this town. The Blindness that these people are experiancing is very different from the typical kind. Instead of seeing black darkness these victims see a bright white. With the government fully alarmed they start gahtering people who have either gone blind or were exposed to the unkown virus. Being placed in an abandoned asylum the infected must in alot of ways take care of each other. To me it seems if they seperate themselves they will not beableto survive on there on during their time in this asylum. This story great and draws me in completely even though its been going slow so far. I also find the the Saramago wrote this stroy is very different. Dialoge is mixed all together with no quotation marks or indentions. I was told that it gives the reader a blind feeling. I relly like that  style. IT would be a good way to help me improve my dialoge.

Writing Log

For a while i've been working on developing Karen's character by introducing her family members and how she interacts with.  I also wanted to show some changes in her, that is how he decided to handle the relationship with her father and the friend she lost because of him. I also wanted to show her father acts when it comes to being around other people. I'm a little stuck on finishing that portion so i'm starting a new chapter with Gab. For the longest i wanted to make a conflict that would be big enough to affect all my characters and i think i found some thing that would do just that. I begin it with Gab and i'm thinking of a way to build off of that so that it can spread to the other characters. 

Reading Log

For the pass couple of weeks i've been reading the writing fiction guide and its helped me to develop my  characters  a lot better. I feel like the advice she gives her readers are easy to follow and so it easy for me to produce characters that seem real.  I've also been taking time to read my mystery novel. From this book i've learned how to give my story a certain speed. Since it's a mystery the novel moves in a some what slower speed. So that i can gather all the clues and evidence clearly, i'm guessing.
