Armistice

Dear Wal,

That’s right ladies and gentlemen. The war is finally over. A very old story of mine has finally come into itself and really, honestly become real. I’ve been trying to write this story since I was ten, it was a branching off of my black dog story (now that is a weird and wacky tale of many years of writing angst). It was one of those stories where I yanked a character out of his rightful place and put him in an alien world where he didn’t belong. Anyway, this world of mine was left a shell without its main purpose and drive in the character that was never supposed to be there. It drifted along for ages, I even developed a whole gang of characters to fill the gap left behind by this one character. It still wouldn’t pull itself together. It had a beginning but no end, just a bleak and dark future where the world ended and there was no one there to save it and no way to stop it.

Seriously. It was pretty depressing.

The race of people who the main characters belonged to died from a plague in the story and the world became unbalanced because so much life energy vanished at once. And like I said before, no Chosen One to save them. Somehow the story ended up starting itself up from that point, with my two main character that I created to fill the gap meeting each other for the first time instead of as seasoned veterans of a war long lost. Not only to I get to finish off a story that really, honestly deserves it, I also get to watch these characters develop. I’m really glad this is finally working out. I’ve waited so long and had to exercise so much patience for this story to work itself out. It gives me hope for all my other dead or half-finished story.
