Markus « Feeding The Need To Write

Markus

18Mar08

My story of Markus and his dominance in the story seemed to be generating a lot of commentary. It would seem that no one hated the story, which I’m very happy to say. But some were not all to in love with his commanding ways. Truth be told I was a little afraid that it was overboard for my taste when I was writing it. But I have one rule when it comes to writing one shots, I never re-write them. I correct for spelling and grammar errors. But I never change the scene. If there are some structure problems like I said something happened at one point and then in another point I said it didn’t happen, I usually correct that. I never plan them out, i just free flow.

I was curious to see if I could write such a domineering man and still be okay with it. And I was, but I’m not to happy with how Natalia came off. I wanted her to still have that aggressive side that I showcased in the first one shot and I think I lost it. I think it has something to do with the fact that it was from Markus’ view point instead of Natalia’s. You don’t read what she’s thinking and how she’s really handling the effects of Markus. One of the drawbacks of only focusing on one character.

In the end I believe the next time a character such as Markus shows up in my writing, I’ll make sure to have both character’s view point in the scene.

Now as far as more from Natalia and Markus, I don’t know. I guess we will have to see.
