i am all the things that you regret
I did some more writing today. Started setting up some foreshadowing in the plot of something that doesn't happen till a loooooong time later (although now I come to writing the actual plot, I'm tempted to wonder if my original time frame is too long - it was supposed to be set over five years, but now I don't know if that's perhaps too long. I suppose the only way to figure it out is to carry on and see what happens).
I need to do a lot of poking with this story. There's two/three main characters (I say that because the narrator is...not impartial to the plot...but the plot is someone else's story, and then the subplot is the narrator's and another character's). There's a lot of secondary characters, some of whom are criminally underused just because I don't know what to do with them. Like Nick is a lot like I once imagined his namesake to be, so I can deal with him. Steve, on the other hand, I have no idea about, except that he has long hair and is (occasionally) gullible.
Although now I write about it, I am tempted to ditch the narrator and go back to what I had originally before I ever shoe-horned him into the story (and I did) six years ago (christ, has it been that long? Yes, yes, it has). It makes more sense for him to not be in it. Or at least, not narrating it.
(Talking of amusing my id, three of the characters are named after famous peoples. Because doing shit like that amuses the crap out of me. Because as pointed out last night, I am easily amused).
*goes back to poke at the story*
