<quote timestamp="1424176341" author="@danixiewrites" source="/post/4240/thread]*happy flailing* I know those feels. Usually for me it's due to a problem whose solution I should've realized all along, and I feel like an idiot because it's SO OBVIOUS. (This lightning bolt also tends to happen in a very unfortunate, public place. ie: Shouting "The boy has to DIE!" in the middle of a grocery store. That remains my favorite. Probably because the hubs' disappearing act was epic.) Congratulations, and may your fingers be swift on the way to that victory! :D[/quote]
Dude! Yes!
My biggest problem with the story is that I was originally going to use real people from history as integral characters. Which, I have with at least one so far; and I'm fine with her. But, the other two kind of... strained my story? I was too hung up on the actual history of them and how to integrate them without it seeming cheesy and stupid. I mean, it's one thing if history knows next to nothing about a particular person, but, when they're well-known? It can feel wrong to me and I just worry about doing it justice.
Thankfully, these two characters had not been revealed yet; they won't be for a while. But, knowing the background makes dropping clues for the overall plot much easier.

Sometimes I feel like a girl~... sometimes I don't~
