...and I still haven't finished typing it up. Lazy...distracted...disinterested...it's one of the three, dunno which. I'm a good portion into writing the second part of this one and I'm starting to wonder where it's going. I'm also doing a few things that I've never done before. Such as suddenly turning a semi-random character that's there only to fill a small role into a relative of a main character. This character will probably never be used again after this but I won't be killing her off. Shocking huh?
I'm also going back and adjusting things slightly more to this story than any other I've ever written. It's still probably not going to be enough to make me truly satisfied that I'm done though. I'll always have that nagging feeling that there's a little more I could do. Eventually that nagging feeling will make me start a re-write which I'll never complete...such as the one I have for my first Dragon Hunters story, which is actually comlpete but it's still waiting for me to get around to typing it up.
I think I enjoy writing up bios for my characters in City of Villains more than doing my stories. I've written four complex and detailed bios, three of which intertwine a LOT. The fourth is just a character I was playing around with and decided to come up with a background for. The first three are technically the same character. The first is the actual character. The second is a supressed personality that occasionally manages to be unchained, literally. The third is the physical manifestation of the first's imaginary friend. If I ever get bored I may write a story about the four of them. It wouldn't be too hard at all to find a way to cross paths between the three and the fourth...
