So, I was working on chapter nine and trying to think about how certain events should be handled, and I began to fold laundry to give myself some thinking time. Well, my mind wandered and I started thinking about recent unpleasant events, and I created a new character (a few, actually) whom I will introduce into my novel as soon as it's feasible.
His name is Alexander Michael Geoffrey Loughton.
His sister is Kristen Danielle Kara Loughton.
His father is Robert Geoffrey Loughton.
His grandmother is Prudence Mary Loughton.
His uncle is Jesse Alexander Loughton.
Normally, when I consider things like this, I think to myself, "Andrew, now... come one." But this time through, it just makes so much SENSE. Maybe that's what I've been missing this re-write, which is why it's been so hard to continue: a little bit of the current me.
On I go.
