Here we belong...
Aug. 21st, 2011 10:42 pmWhile I don't like to get too carried away when externalizing my characters (e.g. That whole, oh, I don't write the stories, it's all the characters school of writing), it does sometimes feel like I'm having tiny conversations in my head. Tonight's went something like this:
ME: I need to cast the demon-king of Samarkan't. I think we need Clancy Brown. (Browses GIS)
ISYLLT: Clancy Brown is hot.
ME: Seriously. Possibly the hottest guy to ever run around in a skull hat. Also the tallest.
ISYLLT: And who's he playing again?
ME: The demon-king of whatever this Nongol city is.
ISYLLT: This calls for a necromancer.
ME: Yeah, probably. Too bad you're not in this book.
ISYLLT: What do you mean I'm not in this book?
ME: Not in it. This is not a Necromancer Chronicle. You're getting into trouble somewhere else until someone pays me for TNC #4.
ISYLLT: You can't have a plot that requires flirting with a hot demon-king and not have me. This is not a job for amateurs.
ME: I didn't say anything about flirting--
ISYLLT: You yourself said he was hot.
ME: I don't think that's the point...
ISYLLT: That's why you haven't sold book 4.
