I wanted to share something that I dealt with while writing the second in the Survival of the Fittest Series.
There's this one character, and honestly, I couldn't stand her. I did everything I could to get rid of her. And then I decided to finally kill her off. Ha Ha, (evil laugh there). So you'd think I'd be able to get rid of her early on and then be free of her - not! That girl just wouldn't die until one of the last chapters. I swear, the character had a survival instinct that beat my creative instinct. Could it be I just didn't want to kill her?
And then - wouldn't you know it... I wrote, what I think is one of the BEST end scenes for any character that's died. Why? How the heck do I know. That girl just wanted to live. Doesn't it sound strange how my characters actually do live in some strange way.
But, and this is a SPOILER: in the the third in the series The Battle for Earth, she's BAAAAACK! Maybe I didn't dislike her as much as I thought. Or maybe, she's still fighting to live. (scary music)
