Lately, I have been fascinated with the idea of writing stories that don't end happily ever after. I used to hate character death, but for the past few months, it's become an interesting subject. You can do a lot with the character that is suffering from grief when someone he/she loves passes away. I mean, do they turn mean and lash out? Do they

Alright, I was thinking, "Uh...what story would be her's" the whole time I was reading it. But now I know. I kind of skip around it (I'm a champion skipper), because I have a taste for certain stories. Most that are more than twenty I look away from, because sometimes I get anxious and have to walk away and do something else. Which is why I stick to completed stories. I'm a fast reader, I don't like waiting.

Anyway, I understand the character death fascination. I toyed with killing off quite a few characters in my story (Namely the main character, her brother or her friend). I ended up killing one of her friends, but, it wasn't that big of an impact on the reader, because she wasn't that well known.

I just did it to focus in on the main character and how unstable she was.

Hell, I'm still thinking about killing the main character off, but that'd just be mean. I like her...so I'm making do in a compainion story. (Bwahaha). Hold on, I got bitten up by bugs today...

Okay, all better. I hate the length that my story is becoming too. I wanted it to be fifteen. It'll probably be Twenty...not counting the prolouge, which I may just change to the first chapter...because I can. But the only reason it's gotten so long is because I couldn't close it up that fast. There'd be loose ends and I don't want to do a sequel if I can get away with it. So I'm trying to make it work.

I'd write more, but I'm all gross and itchy from marching band, so I can't sit still long enough.

Smiles,

Yeah, no worries. I skip a lot of stories too.

I'm intrigued by this mention of a companion story... I'll definitely want to check that out when you get it posted!
