Not a god damn arms race.

Character building... I would love to say I know extensive histories of my characters. I wish I knew what happened to them when my stories ended, but it just isn't that simple. When I'm writing I see myself as the characters I'm portraying.

I find that helps me get the words out easiest if I envision myself in their shoes and react accordingly. I've never had a character talk to me and feel that I'd seek mental help in the event one did decide to talk to me.

The downside to this process is that I easily write myself into the characters. At the core of every character is an important piece to my puzzle that once it's been figured out can quickly unravel each and every character.

I'm tired,
I'm hurting
and I'm going to bed.

Goodnight.
