Do you think this guy spends all day worried if the world will hate his creations? No, he just pulls the trigger. And what do you know, he's famous on the internet!

My Bad! :)
Also, I do what I waaaaant. (you should hear that in Celine's voice) Sorry about the lack of posting. Yes, I have been sick, but you have two kids and a house to run so which of us has a better excuse for not keeping up on this? Still me I think ;)
I've been going over and over and over and over what I've managed to get down of my story (see the post I just did on http://randomlettersandnumbers.blogspot.com/) and beating my head against a brick wall in the process which I guess explains the headaches. But I haven't spent much of that time (any since Tuesday night really) on the blog(s). So yes, I've been neglectful and I don't really have any good reason to be. But I'm better now and I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, I'm fat enough, and doggonit, people seem indifferent towards me. So here is some of what I promised you on Wednesday.
1. The Names:
Main Character - Jayden Harris (aka Dark Spectre)
The Father - Curtis Matthew Harris (aka ?) He goes by Matthew cause he hates his first name. Not sure he should get an alias since he has no "powers" but is just a kick-ass martial artist.
The Mother - May Harris-Morgan (aka Shadow Slayer) Deceased
The Brother - Issac Harris (aka Livewire) Deceased
The Sister - Megan Harris (aka Seraphim) Deceased
The Boyfriend - John Howard Brooks (aka "The Scientist in flaskbacks since his face was covered when he and Dark Spectre first met) Also, middle name was given because his parents were Howard the Duck fans.
The Friend - Renly Sizemore (Therapist by day, dominatrix by night)
2. - 4. These items pertained to the story itself. See my blog post, this is slow going.
5. Minor Antagonist:
Among the myriad of thugs, I intend to introduce a character with similar abilities to that of Bullseye from the Daredevil movie. But I'm having a tough time coming up with a catchy alias for him (not planning on revealing his real name). Here are some ideas that should convey his abilities so you can vote or offer up suggestions. 1. Sharpshooter 2. Dead Eye 3. Snipe or Sniper
Okay, so YAY! That's where I'm at. And thank you for posting the ideas for getting and keeping the creative juices flowing (which sounds really disgusting now that I've written it out...what a terrible expression). Are we getting together today?

Keep On Keeping On
I posted, Aunty Romey! Twice, just this week.
I'm excited because that clears out a couple of posts that I've had lingering unpublished in my archives for a year or so and now I only have to publish a One Hundred Word Wednesday post tomorrow to keep up some momentum.
I'm petrified because now I've cleared out two more posts that I'd had in the bank and after tomorrow's One Hundred Word Wednesday, I have to find some way to keep up momentum.
But for now, I've written. And posted. And I'm calling it a win.

Just a Reminder
Here it is. My proclamation to the world. Here is what I owe you on Wednesday. And it's all here in print so I can't worm my way out of it.
1. Figure out Dark Spectre's real name and settle on the names of his family and boyfriend.
2. Write the scene where he stumbles in on Renly's dominatrix session.
3. Expand on the intro by writing at least 3 pages of story (the intro may take three pages so I'll continue at least another 3 pages after the intro)
4. Create the character bios I promised you like 2 weeks ago (although to be fair, this may not be entirely ready on Wednesday
5. Finally, come up with a minor antagonist for our hero to battle with as he works up to the big fish. No, he's not literally going to be fighting tuna, but you know the big bad guy(s).
So there it is. I have a list, I have a deadline, and I know you'll kill me if I fail. Everything's in place to get my off my lazy ass and onto my lazy ass so I can write and create.
