when God is gone and the Devil takes hold
Jul. 19th, 2010 04:14 pm11. Who is your favorite character to write? Least favorite?
I have a lot of characters that I'll always love, but I've got to say that I love Nazareth Alice the best.
Ever since I saw her name on a road sign, I knew she would be slinky, sexy, powerful, and possibly the most terrifying person you'd ever meet. There is something so fun about writing the seductive, confident ones. They're morally ambiguous, they get the best lines, and they always have a plan.
And while I really don't have characters I do not like to write, I do have characters I do not like. One of them is Amadora Amberdrake, the intelligent and yet completely clueless mother of Winslow (I need to post a synopsis of the stories I'm writing so people can actually understand what I'm talking about. Again.). She's not a bad person and she's not necessarily a bad mother. She just got wrapped up in herself and her other children and missed the boat on keeping Winslow from self-destructing. And instead of trying to fix things, she turned the other way and expected it to repair itself. It does, just not in a way she can understand.
IT MAKES SENSE IN MY HEAD, PROMISE.
