tarotgalI've completely been hijacked by original characters. Today I was working a little more on the sequel to the sequel to 'Escape' (and the sequel to the sequel to the sequel to 'Escape' which actually would work better as a prequel to 'Escape' if not for a time problem).
ANYWAY, the point is, I made a list of characters & character descriptions so I could stay consistent with hair & eye colors (and with their nicknames and real names) and before I knew it, I had 8 pages of characters, background stories, story possibilities, etc. It's not just a small series, it's an epic! LOL!
So... yeah... I've been hijacked. It's a good thing, though, I think. The characters are a lot of fun to develop and write and I'm really enjoying this. It's been a LONG time since I've written so much with original characters. Now if I could just write something I could publish... heehee :-)
I need a city name, though. I don't want it to be any place real... but I want it nearby DC... but not in Virginia because Virginia sucks. I'd love to set it near Boston instead, but I'd have to rewrite everything to work with the accent thing. So... hrmph... I may be stuck with Southern Maryland. Which isn't a bad thing exactly... I don't know. I'll keep thinking about it. Either way it needs to be a fake city name and I suck at that kind of thing. If anyone has any suggestions, that would be great. I think I used up my creativity on names and nicknames tonight. LOL
