Shabam!
I've tried this whole blog thing a few times now and maybe it'll stick this time. Who knows? Either way, this will be used to keep you (and myself) updated and the general goings-on of the things in my head. I'd like to hope it will allow a few drops of brilliance to fall, but I make no guarantees and set no expectations.
I'm having a moment that my writing partner, Katie, recently experienced where I'm not sure if I like my main character being a female. The basis of the story's concept was an incredibly vivid dream I had a few years back and the image of it led me to create a world and structure a story around it. Now, nearly the entire concept has evolved into something other than originally intended by the influx of inspiration EXCEPT that she's still a she. The result is that I'm torn.
I feel like a little kid who is trying to cling to something better off to be let go of. I recognize I'm standing in the way of progress, but I had just envisioned the lead being a she and not a he. A he would work, but it is not my intention, and thus leaves me sad at the inner battle I have. I'm sure I'll inevitably change it to a he but this is a rough thing to experience, provided the incredible differences genders bring not only to the reader but also the story. Maybe I'll let it sit while I work on our new project for NaNoWriMo! More information on that later. For now I will resign myself to my day job and hope I can keep this up!
