Origins

The Present:
I've gotten a few sequences building the friendship between Bridgett and Penelope. I'm trying to get them to the dating stage quickly because most of the plot happens only after they have gotten to that stage. I think I'm running the risk of pushing them forward too fast, but I don't think it's going to be a huge problem. I just have to remember, this is just me getting to story down. I can go fool with it later.

The Past:
Managed to get a good handle on Bridgett's personality. She's the princess of insecurity, disguised conformity, and futile attempts at relaxation. Ah, it is wonderful tormenting characters.

The Future:
I must play in the Origins marquee tournament. I think it's this weekend, which, miraculously, I have off. Why must I play? The bulk of the set is made of "the T," or "the fucking T"--the JSA. I play this team as a merciless science. I'm also good at putting together a team on the fly. Finally, the games are ALL going to be played on the new map... the JSA brownstone. A fitting location for the JSA to show off its "T" formation once again. To my friends I play Clix with, I'd advise you to remember every other time I've played JSA, then copy it.

The Past:
I've been told that the word "Vitamin" should be part of the title of the book I'm working on. The word "Femme," not getting a lot of support.

The Present:
I keep seeing the one person who has a lot of superficial characteristics in common with the character Bridgett (namely hair and body plan). I'm reminded of some things I've read online about developing characters. It's been suggested that characters can be made of parts of different people--the face of one person, the mind of another, and the personality of a third.

Well, my field trip was cancelled, so I'll be at the marquee as well. And I'm fear not your "t"!

My team will be gloriously pummeled into oblivion by it!

That doesn't sound right...

No, don't get pummeled--fight back. Think about the evil things I do and use them against me.

Ah, but who said pummeling is a bad thing? My characters will be airborne, and fall on your characters, crushing them, and thus ensuring my victory!

Mwa ha ha ha ha!

Turns out I didn't take one thing into account with the HeroClix tournament: my writing.

I started working on a very difficult section of a story. I don't know how it's going to turn out, but I only left when I did because I HAD to get out of the house after writing what I'd written.
