Sometimes you find a character who is an absolute joy to write. Arrogant, prone to speeches and bombast, quick-witted, and an all-around asshole.
I love writing this character!
I am so going to miss him when I’m done with this. :/
(ETA: 11:30) I’d gotten stuck in a particular scene. I knew how it began. I knew how it ended. It was the part in the middle that was a little… mystifying. So I wrote the beginning. I wrote the ending. Then I went back and filled in the middle. I think it works. Oh, it’s not quite smooth yet–a character from the first part of the scene is wholly absent from the last part of the scene, but that’s quite fixable. 🙂
Now to write the final scene!
