Been a week since I've been able to put anything down. Kinda sucks, but it's a combination of work, and waiting for my stuff to come back from my friend who is trying to be my editor AND do his mid-terms.

Le-sigh, but what can you do? I'm not backing off from the writing thing, so to keep up I ended up writing up a couple characters. One is a sort of Supernatural-ish style character... but just my own spin on it. The other is for an online tabletop game I'll be in for a couple hours a week.

I've always found character design for games to be just as much fun as writing in general, because you're writing a story, but from a different point of view. For RPGs, you pick out skills, an occupation, and end up starting to ask yourself the big question of WHY.

WHY is one of the biggest motivators I know for stories... what and where are just part of the journey, and who is pretty much a given. How can be a pain in the butt, but you usually figure it out with the other stuff.

So once I get the why firmly in my head, I can write this other guy up, and start getting my head back into the writing I was doing, or maybe post up another part of what I was working on here.

In the meantime, for those who read these... ciao!
