Doom Rant #2
I'm doomed. Doomed.
I still can't do this on screen, for some reason, I'm still only able to contort myself onto pillows and scrawl. Ah well, it's all words.
It's just that I'm not really sure that they're words anyone would want to read. I mean, I'm enjoying myself immensely in that tortured oh-my-god-this-is-such-crap sort of way. And that is infinitely better than the tortured Where-are-the-words-where-are-the-words-why-are-they-always-hiding?Huh? sort of way.
But, I have this character. He's the central character (one of 'em) and he is Not A Nice Man.
That should be okay as Not Nice people are for more interesting than nice ones, but I'm beginning to wonder whether my other central (female) character could actually survive all this. So far he has:
Conspired to get her sister for his brother.
Decided that he's having her, too - despite the fact she's already married.
Killed her husband and her baby.
Felt up one of the slaves, in front of her. Just to prove that he can.
Masturbated on their bed.
Proved that if he wants to rape her, she can't stop him. (Though he didn't actually rape her - which was nice).
And I haven't even got to the bad bit yet. To be fair, she has cursed him, bitten him, tried to stab him and insulted him at every turn - but wouldn't you?
By now, I am beginning to wonder exactly where all of this is coming from and what the hell I'm supposed to do with it when it all arrives.
