I started chapter 16 this morning. I am surprised to find out how much I enjoy writing about the bad guy. lol I always thought that it would be difficult to jump into the skin of a truly evil character, but it's actually fun. That's because no one irl is being hurt by my antagonist. My wife April is a great help. She reads each chapter as I write it. I'm actually writing the story for her, publishing it afterward just makes sense. lol Anyway, I like to write my bad guy and then see if he brings out any cringes from my wife. If I can get an emotional response from her, I figure that the rest of the audience will know what I'm trying to do with the character, at the very least. I have been really busy with other work over the last couple of weeks, so I haven't posted here daily like I started to in the beginning. Once I grow an audience, I will fine tune this blog to your tastes. If you like these small daily posts, I will continue to do them, otherwise I can do articles once or twice a week. I'm actually going to get back to writing chapter 16. Have a great day.
