The holidays really slowed me down and when I say slowed, I mean dead stop. Earlier this week I took a look at the 10.7 episode homework. It is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:#399f30\" class=\"has-text-color\">The assignment: Pick one of the dead-drop characters from the exercise two weeks ago, and turn them into a secondary character. Now take one of the characters with whom they interacted, and write the same scene again, but from this new character\u2019s POV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0If you look back on the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"10.5 homework, (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/index.php\/2019\/11\/25\/listening-and-learning-writing-excuses-10-5\/\" target=\"_blank\">10.5 homework,<\/a> I chose to work with the leather shop owner. He only spoke in one of the scenes, but he is the perfect candidate for this week\u2019s assignment of turning a secondary character into the main character. I really like where this story line could take me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/writingexcuses.com\/2015\/02\/15\/writing-excuses-10-7-who-are-all-these-people\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Writing Excuses 10.7: Who Are All These People? (opens in a new tab)\">Writing Excuses 10.7: Who Are All These People?<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Peter watched the crowd mill about in front of\nhis outdoor shop. He breathed in the scent of leather. The earthy smell was a\ncomfort. He spent his early life learning how to work with leather and his products\nsold well at the market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The market was his favorite place to sell. He loved watching the people. This was the place that helped hone his skills at reading people. And reading people is what brought in the real money. To say his leather stand was a front was both insulting and true. Insulting because the leather wallets, belts, and bags brought in enough that he didn&#8217;t need to do anything else. And it was true because it actually acted as a front. This was the place spies were born. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p> Peter would be the judge of how well they could be trained to do the work at hand. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Ten years ago, he began running drugs for a local company. The term gang didn&#8217;t quite sum up the organization. It was a well-organized business. And after ten years he needed a new partner. Over the next few weeks, he would be using the stand as an audition of sorts. His soon to be retired partner found a list of potential hires. Peter would be the judge of how well they could be trained to do the work at hand. But in the meantime, he would sell his leather and wait for this week\u2019s dead drop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Canva-Brown-Leather-Textile-on-Top-of-Drafting-Board-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-357\" width=\"479\" height=\"319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Canva-Brown-Leather-Textile-on-Top-of-Drafting-Board-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Canva-Brown-Leather-Textile-on-Top-of-Drafting-Board-scaled-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Canva-Brown-Leather-Textile-on-Top-of-Drafting-Board-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Canva-Brown-Leather-Textile-on-Top-of-Drafting-Board-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Canva-Brown-Leather-Textile-on-Top-of-Drafting-Board-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Canva-Brown-Leather-Textile-on-Top-of-Drafting-Board-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/lucilleyateswrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Canva-Brown-Leather-Textile-on-Top-of-Drafting-Board-624x416.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 479px) 100vw, 479px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by Kevin Menajang<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Today\u2019s candidate could be spotted a mile\naway. He was tall, wore mundane clothes, and was looking over his shoulder with\neach step he took. He fidgeted with the bag in his hands. The ridged posture\nwas the biggest giveaway. How could anyone walk like that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peter knew this man would not be trainable. He\nshook his head and waited for the man to make his way to Peter\u2019s table. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The man smiled at Peter and put the bag down\nin on the ground in front of himself. At least he put the bag in the right\nplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m looking for a wallet,\u201d the man said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have some nice ones here,\u201d Peter pointed to\nthe ones on the table in front. The man was sweating from his brow and his face\nbeet red. It looked as if he ran to the market. \u201cBut these behind me are better\nquality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLet me take a look at the brown tri-fold,\u201d\nthe man pointed to a wallet behind Peter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peter pulled it down for him. Watching the man\nlook through the wallet made Peter chuckle, though he was careful to not be too\nloud. The man\u2019s sweat dripped on the smooth leather as he opened and closed it at\nleast three times. He didn\u2019t look through the pouches. He just unfolded and\nrefolded. The longer he stood there the redder he was becoming. Peter smiled as\nthe man\u2019s eyes began looking left to right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s nice, but I\u2019m going to have to think\nabout it,\u201d the man said thrusting the wallet at Peter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCome back when you do,&#8221; Peter said.\n&#8220;I&#8217;m here every day.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peter began wiping off the man\u2019s sweat from\nthe wallet when he smiled and walked back the way he came. Peter shook his\nhead. Putting the wallet back on the rack behind him, he wondered where his\ncurrent partner found that guy. Peter kneeled and pulled the bag the man\ndropped from under the table. He looked inside. Everything was there. The man\nwas so nervous he didn\u2019t even notice that he was transporting a bag of\nsmarties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peter laughed aloud and opened a pack. In a market this busy, no one turned to look at him despite the loud ring of his laughter. He smiled to himself as he set back to work selling his goods, hoping the next candidate was stealthier.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">To Sum Up:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At this moment I&#8217;m really tired.
