i have been thinking a lot about my books again this week, mostly to try and figure out exactly what the world is like in the book i am writing. the world that my two main characters built, then destroyed. i need to know what it was built on. there are parallels forming, both on a story level and a personal level that are killing me. i went back and read the little two section blurb that was really the first text that has any shot of being in the books. the crazy thing is, it was written in like 2004, before i had any of these stories fleshed out at all. they were just a collection of scenes waiting for a plot.
it has really been making me refocus on who Ash and Krista really are, and how they have formed in my mind. Ash is the superhuman version of myself. he is the person i want to be, my evolved form. and Kristabelle is his female equivolent, an equal. she was basically built out of the very pinnacle of thought my romantic mind can imagine. but she is beyond that, i always see her as a creature beyond what my mind can comprehend. she has to be, if she is going to play the role i have written for her. her accomplishments outstrip ash's, in the end. i wouldn't make her travel the path she does if i didn't completely trust her.
now that i am finally going back and reading it, they are still the same characters. the scene is perfect (not including miles, who isn't enough of a main character to be completely realized at this point). they are acting like the ash and krista i know. in fact, the scene seems so much more intense and meaningful to me, now that i know so much more about the connection they feel, and where it leads them. i watch them and smile.
