That’s right, still working on Episode 5 or really it’s become Episode 6 — I’ll explain that later. I seem to finally understand why this episode is so hard for me to write. Yes, it’s my first real episode to do on my own, but it’s so different from the character norm. It’s emotional and almost painfully draining on those emotions.
I do dark and sad, which is fun– I do love a good dark story. But to do a whole episode of dark and sad with a character that’s so full of sweet and usually happy is almost painful at times. I mean, one of my favorite characters to write, this episode should’ve been a breeze– but I find myself dragging my feet.
Maybe it just hits too close to home. The new year didn’t bring the goodness and light that I was hoping for (yes even in that first month) and that’s life. Things happen, and the bad only makes you appreciate the good even more… but living in some of the badness and then writing even more badness– Bad+Bad=More Bad and remember, math is hard. Ha!
Anyway, I’m starting to hit my stride again. It’s a new month and things are alway darkest before the dawn. We like the dawn with it’s light and shiny brightness… unless you’re a vampire, but then that’s not really a problem. That’s a skin condition for the dead.
Well, I’ve ceased making sense so I’m going to stop. Hopefully my next post won’t be as rambling or only sensical (it’s a word… I made up) to myself.
