Undoubtedly

So, here at school there's a bi-weekly writing workshop, on Tuesdays and Wednesday, that I have started to consistantly attend, and share my work. It is really fun to see everyone else's writing style and story ideas. They also give little lessons and writing prompts which helps aspiring writers be better, not just through the critiques that come. I love it. Currently, I am sharing Dreamrunners, and they love it, which makes me so happy! Perhaps one day I will share MtH, but I am still hesitant because it is still in the works. But it would be good to get a critique on it thus far.  Anyway, we're about 1/4-th of the way into the story, and each night after the workshop I make edits based on their comments. Most of the comments so far have been "Work on Showing, not Telling" which is a big problem for me, but I feel I am getting better. Plus, I get writing time for my Creative Writing Class.
Anyway, the main reason I wanted to post today was, I just observed a rather interesting phenomenon. I started writing Dreamrunners a few months over a year ago, and it has been finished for a little less than a year. During the workshop session today, we read the part when Camaron meets 901 for the first time. "[Camaron] smirk[s] as the silence continues, a sly confident smile. I hold all the answers to the questions undoubtedly running through his head." As this was being read by a fellow workshop-goer, my mind wandered to Winnie the Pooh singing the word undoubtedly in his Blustery Day song. I have not thought about Winnie the Pooh for the longest time, especially that song, but I think I did not put the word "undoubtedly" in error. I think my subconcious remembered Pooh singing "So it's rather safe to say/That it seems that it may turn out to be/It feels that it will undoubtedly/It looks like a rather blustery day, today" and added ubdoubtedly so that I could make the concious connection later.
It wasn't until I got home and began editing the section we read in the workshop that I made the connection and started singing "Blustery Day." It brought back sweet memories of childhood. I now have a strong desire to watch Winnie the Pooh, but as a college student, I will refrain.

Another writing exercise I think would be interesting to try is create a dialogue between two characters from different stories. This would help you guarantee that each character has his or her own voice, and that you're not just relying on dialogue tags between characters. That is my goal for one day. It would also just be interesting to see how two different characters from entierly different worlds meet...
