Brynja has been frustrating me, somewhat. That's good news in that I've been playing with her. But she's been behaving like a TSTL (too stupid to live) heroine from the '80s. After a great deal of discussion, she acknowledged that she had indeed behaved in such a manner. It perplexed her as much as it did me, and she vowed to never do it again. Usually when a character says never, they mean until the next time. I'm going to have to watch her closely. She's reckless. At least, I now know why.
Bracken is not at all reckless, despite his recent act of pulling up stakes and moving halfway across the world. He was driven to do so by forces beyond his control. He's pretty pleased with how that's turned out so far.
It seems that no matter how much I plot, I continue to learn things about characters and stories as I go along. That's essential if I'm to stay interested in writing. A big part of why I write is to see how things work out. Editing isn't as much fun as I already know the story. Then it becomes a game of words. That's a different kind of interesting.
How's your week been?
