Monday, Monday
So here I am, Monday morning, barely awake. I'm sure it's Monday because the first sip of coffee burned my tongue. That only happens on Monday.
This is writing day, and so far I've run through about half a dozen possibilities of what to chat about. Yes, definitely Monday - LOL.
We've talked about Mondays here before and learned we have the Yea! It's Monday - I get a fresh start group. And we have the Please don't tell me it's Monday again - the weekend wasn't long enough group.
Although I'm coming to have a new appreciation for Mondays, I'm not totally on board yet. I'm still a good 80% in the Please don't tell me it's Monday group.
So what about your characters? Your main ones, I mean. Hero and heroine - one of each would be a good mix. Both falling in the same group would be an entirely different story. What about the antagonist? What's his - or her - view of Mondays?
Extend this and think about my favorite day of the week - Friday.
How do you view Fridays?
What about your characters?
Happy Monday!

Miranda - Sounds like me and my character :) Thanks for commenting.
Holly - That might make me a little bonkers, but would be fun for a while.
Elizabeth - Mondays have been better since I have a regular schedule.
Jane - Kudos to your character!
In my character's universe, there's not really Mondays, so they have no opinion.
But some some who work away from home, today is a good Monday. I remember this from my "past" life!!

Alex - A world without Mondays :)
Hooray for Washington!
Lydia - Exactly!
Ann - Holidays are always good.
Terry - Each day has a different feel for me. I don't know how it would be without external clues, but maybe the same.
Nancy - I always have to know the day of the week my story starts, and then I have a timeline. Or either an event will occur on a specific day, which will then determine what day of the week the story begins. Why is that important to me? I have no idea :)
Personally, I used to make a distinction concerning what day it was, but once I started working at places where I sometimes worked on weekends it didn't really matter as much and now one day is mostly like the next for me.

Tossing It Out
I hadn't thought about how this would apply to my characters, but that is interesting. Have to make sure I am letting them have their own views of Monday's and Fridays and not mine.
Rula - I love having my time to write M-F, but there is just something about Monday. Weekends are family time here, too.
Maryann - How they view or don't think about those days could take their attributes and plot in new directions.
Glynis - You don't mind laundry? Come to my house! We are either the dirtiest or the cleanest people in the universe. Laundry never ends.
Otherwise, its all about I need more time off.
For my characters: Well, I have three to play with. There's Amy, who is a stay at home mom so her routine doesn't vary much regardless of day of the week.
There's Robert; works when drinking doesn't get in the way and hits the alarm until Amy pretty much dumps him out of bed.
Then there's Cal, who is up before the sun, regardless of the day of the week or the season. Once that first cup of coffee is finished, he's off and ready for some type of action or other.
I'm with Robert; I hate mornings, not matter what day of the week they fall on.

My MC has to worry about survival, so no day is better or worse than the next, I guess.
Clarissa - I love starts. But I do hate to give up my weekend. I wonder if it's possible to have both - LOL
Michelle - Yea holidays!
lbdiamond - Let's see ... survival or Mondays? Maybe I'd take Mondays :)
