In the novel I'm currently editing, (working title Pitch Black Stars) Pitch, the MMC, starts out wanting to remember who he is, and then somewhere in the novel (still haven't quite pinned down the exact location yet) it changes to him just wanting to protect the girl he's adopted as his little sister.Catsi Eceerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08332529011525703394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-18201159960060831362014-07-03T19:36:47.899-05:002014-07-03T19:36:47.899-05:00It's like this was posted especially for me:) ...It's like this was posted especially for me:) I'm *attempting* to start on a new novel, but every time I sit down to write/plan, I get stumped.

It's funny because this story I created the supporting cast and main cast specifically so each wanted something different that they're trying to achieve through roughly the same means. I also tried to pick something that wasn't inherently 'good' for most, and a few wants that are generally considered corrupt so that my cast is varied. But those with 'corrupt' wants, such as power, aren't villains. J.
