It's silly, I know . . ..

Sometime this weekend I'm going to kill off a major character in Seer II.

This is a character I've sort of lived with for a while now so it's actually kind of traumatic to me, really. Especially the way it happens.

Isn't it silly, that I feel sort of sad about this? This person doesn't actually exist anywhere except in my head.

Still, it has to be done. The entire point of the Seer series is death and it's aftermath, about grieving and moving on. Maybe I'm trying to tell myself something with this whole thing, my subconcious sending me a message. In any case, I think it makes for a good story, and one people will want to see.

Weather randomocity--according to www.weather.com there's a cold front that has stalled to the north of us, which is creating a steady stream of storms. We need the rain but the lighting--especially when it trips the breakers in my apartment--is getting a bit old. And at this point--according to the same source--there's nothing out there to get this frakkin' cold front moving again. So, storms every day for the foreseeable future.

Yeah, I'm talking about the weather. I've learned the hard way what happens when one ignores the weather. One tends to get blindsided by torrential rains and continuous lightning.

Which, really, would be a really good atmosphere for writing what I'm writing. Provided the power stays on.
