go. I kept most of the verbiage, but by changing the POV (point of view) into the
second person, present tense, I basically changed the overall mood the story takes,
and it will allow me to define my own vision of what Grimdark means.
The thing about writing in the second person, it can force the writer to confront the
protagonist’s emotions. Delve a little deeper into what makes a man or woman
tick, for good or bad. Emotions, I learned many books ago, are delicate (yet
necessary) tools to weald.
Another thing I have to know is my character’s past. In each and every book I
write, each person has a past that has shaped their present lives. But, just like in
real life, you can sometimes share too much, too soon. I need to consider just how
much of their past I need to share, in order to make sense of what’s happening in
their here and now.
Baby Makes Three is coming along slower than I want to admit, being a real pain
in my ass at times, but I’ll get there. This isn’t the first time I’ve had problems like
that, and won’t be the last time. You just have to plow through it, one paragraph at
a time.
I did launch a new pen name, and my new line of XXX erotica! Nasty, naughty,
dirty bad fun!
Nikki Blood. The new me. You can read the first 10% of this serial fantasy with
lots of explicit boing-chika-wow-wow in it, with more to come, at Smashwords!
I’m working on part 2 even as I write this.
