.... and I'd like to get them off my chest so you get the lovely pleasure of being served some fresh ranting on a bed of sob story; complete with silver platter.
Issue 1: For the longest time I've been trying to write one continuous story that's longer than 3,000 words. I haven't even been close to succeeding yet. Recently, with the help of my lovely friend, Ash, I came up with a plot and I've been hashing out the details since. I finished most of the continuity and have moved on to characters. I always have the hardest time making new characters, so I've decided to keep it to a minimum. This, however, is not my problem. My problem is with the characters already made. I've decided to use Jack, Ell, and a brand new character as my mains. If you're reading this the chances are high you know what Jack's like, but in case you don't here's a basic summary: Jack is a complete and total sadistic bitch. Her goal in life is to have fun drop kicking you into hell holding on to your intestines so she can yo-yo you in and out of the 7th circle. She's snarky, rude, and would make the collective of the justice league piss their pants. Jack is my baby, I love writing her more than anything and when I can, I am in my /zone/. However, she's not exactly likable.
More than anything, I would love to see this turn into an E-book, or even a regular book. One of my goals is to actually publish something, and I don't think I could do it without having Jack in it. I know that farther than actually writing the book, it doesn't really matter to anyone else just how much I like Jack. She can (and is) my favorite, but that doesn't mean other people will like her and from general reception lately, I'm worried that the majority of people won't share my opinion. I don't really think there's anything I'm willing to do about it, I wouldn't change Jack in a million years just because people don't like her and it won't stop me writing the book either, but I know I'd be a bit heartbroken if it turned out like that.
Issue2: For everyone that knows me, you should know by now that I absolutely pride myself on my wit. I love those moments getting a snippy little line in here and there. Lately, I feel like I haven't been up to par. For example, whenever I reply to a post on tumblr I always fall into the flat and generic category. It's sad because I know in the back of my mind somewhere I have something I could contribute to the lulz, but no. I'm hoping I'll snap out of it soon.
