I did it. I wrote trash.
Once I got beyond it though, there were some interesting tidbits after it. A full-length story. I might lengthen it and make it a real story.
However, now I’m stuck on a character. I was going through all my old characters to find stories based on them, and now I have Luther, who is a tough guy to write a story on since he’s from a different world entirely.
I’m not sure I want to go back to that world, because looking at it now, it’s so lame compared to George R. R. Martin. I’m tempted to change Taurin from a she to a he, but that would cause way too much turmoil because most of the book is about how she has to handle the fact that she’s a girl and supposed to be the true ruler of North Hampshire; that the king and queen are just keepers until she shows up.
Taurin is also a bad name, because World of Warcraft uses it for their minotaur-like creatures. So I have to come up with something else cool.
Maybe the story of how Luther lost his sight. I wrote it out once, a long time ago; maybe it’s time to revisit it.
