Connection to character

October 9th 2018 DRIP

As I said before, working on this new story has brought up some interesting questions about my character, What premise I'm using, and recently what supporting character can come out of the two.  Love Interest, Mentor, Reflection, and the other supporting characters have made question my story seems weird to me.

The more I write this story out about my main character, I feel like I'm diving more and more into myself and I'm going to honest, I'm not liking what I'm discovering. The love interest in my life isn't anyone who falls into the definition.  The definition is the person who inspires your character to finish his outer journey.  No this isn't a blog about being lonely, Its one about asking myself questions on my journey. Does it mean that I am lacking human connection? Does it mean that I don't want human connection or consider it overrated? As I look at my extended family and their family's on social media, I can only look at them in their apparent happiness yet I do not envy them.

Do we actually need supporting people in our lives to reach goals we set for ourselves, or are we simply finding reasons to connect such as dreams and adventure-ish journeys to bring them along on or use as a reason to go on them?

Beginning a fresh story.

In the Master's Program, I'm given an opportunity to create something new. I plan on taking full advantage of it. My newest project "Codename: Vamps" is one on revenge and cruelty. From a creative standpoint, the term cruelty particularly appeals to a broader scope and argument I have had with a former roommate. "What would you consider the worst case of cruelty when it came to slavery?" Obviously, that's a leap but I'll do my best.

Slavery has existed since the bronze age and even as far back as stories included in the holy book referring to it as slavery.6800 B.C. and since then, it is still used today. His argument, Black Slaves in the early days of America was worst. Mine, No way.

I am black and I understand that pain and unspeakable level of hell brought down upon my ancestors but there are other things throughout history that have not only exceed it but downright outlast it on a grander scale. Never the less there I was. Dealing with this debate turned scabble, turned debate, turned to agree to disagree.

My story, however, goes for the former point made about the slaves since because I was taught that throughout my early education and it being my history, I thought, this will get them mad.

A vampire story that takes place on American in the south pre Civil War.  A Huckleberry Finn meets Dracula if you will. I dare to. If you want to see the characters check out my pintrest page.

Birthday, Other days, and suddenly on my own.

Birthday, Other days, and suddenly on my own.

October 7th, 2018

In the modern day society of millennials, people are swayed to the notion of sharing living quarters with each other. This, of course, has a huge impact on the people as a whole but we carry on with our wits to do better. My birthday has passed and for it, I did karaoke at a bar not too far from my home with good longtime friends, and one certain friend that was new. He rode a motorcycle home drunk for two hours after we were done. insanity people. After of course, everyone left and went home.  The was another I really wanted to .be there be he couldn't make it.

Lately, I have been looking for something in other arts and artist for inspiration. a moment of the true aspiring tale of people who came together to be a better part of themselves. I don't know if I believe in that anymore as I am once again plagued by loneliness as if my imagination will keep me talking through the wee hours as I awake trying to create something special and all inspiring to the human experience.

I am rooming alone now. It just me. So how would I actually be able to write about human stories if I have no human around to imagine them with? It's a question I present to you readers. If you're out the reading these words? What do you think?
