A quote for #MondayBlogs
“Now I know the full power of evil. It makes ugliness seem beautiful and goodness seem ugly and weak.” – August Strindberg
Villains. Who doesn’t love defeating a good bad guy? Who doesn’t love seeing a bad good guy struggle with his inner demons?
Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel for Undesirable, planned release is July 4th, the characters for The Very Worst Man have already started giving me their witty one liners. Their quips bubble to the surface like those mud volcanoes shown on the Science Channel. Snippets of mean things run through my brain from the bad guy soon followed by clever retorts from the good guy.
I should probably stick to talking about Undesirable, book two in my Oregon Trails series. I should talk about how Sam and Marie deal with a huge confrontation that’s happening in a few thousand words. Maybe blog about how fun it will be to write an emotional reaction and how the event spreads ripples through their little community. I should do that with the subliminal message of “Buy my book.”
However, Alexandra and Hayden’s story is nagging me to no end. The Very Worst Man picks up a little of where The Very Best Man left off, though both are stand alone. There’s been some, what, critique? Complaints? Suggestions? Requests, maybe, to have a bit of a WWE smack down on Dave and Jane’s part. That’s not the kind of people they are, and yet anyone is capable of anything and it might just be fun to write a courtroom fight scene. I’ll have to see what’s boiling up from my creativity’s depths.
