According to the BBC Sex ID test, I come out with a 0 score on their scale, which means I have no brain sex. Or maybe I have a double brain sex, I don't know, because when they tested separately for factors that they thought were masculine or feminine I got equally high scores. And I got high ones, too, except on the eye reading one. The eye reading one is dumb, though, as anybody who's read The Film Sense knows. But some of the tests didn't have statistical significance, even according to their wimpy explanations, so I think they were just in there because somebody thought it would be fun to write a java script for them.

On another front, stupid backstory keeps wanting to make an angsty drama and I want to write a romantic comedy.

Stupid backstory.

Maybe you have another charcater in your mind trying to come out ? When that hapens to me I write the damn backstory the way it wants to be written and by the time I am done, I find out it was for another story altogether. And then it leaves my brain to go back to the orginal story and leave me alone :) Just a thought

That actually is a good thought. I do have a feeling there are two stories here -- one is angsty, the other comedic.

I know I found some of my best characters dressed up in another story...I just had to out them and find them their own story :)

In this case it seems to be all the same characters but different sides to their personalities, maybe.

My rule is: write to the end of the draft whenever possible, and then see what you'ge vot, before doing anything drastic. I'm about 3K words from the end of the draft tonight.
