I was just working on my novel, working on a scene that involved my 'bad guys' and realized that the truly evil one had not been developed yet. Already my 'bad guys' are kick-butt-awesome, while the 'good guys' are meh-whatever-kinda-weak, so when developing the top 'bad guy' I decided to make him even more super-kick-butt-awesome than any of my other characters. It's ridiculous. Why is it every time I start out a novel my bad guys turn out so awesome?
Oh and on that note on Wednesday I woke up with crazy back pain, and with it came an awesome character, with a super awesome super power...problem he's also one of the 'bad guys.' On the bright side He came to me almost entirely developed, well mostly...now that I think about it not really. He came with a power, a weapon, and a basic personality...gotta go develop a back story for him now. Still good to be working on my novel again.
Crazy back pain? I know the feeling (my sympathies)...and the bad guys sound like they're getting fully stocked and ready (which, hey, is good, because it makes everything more interesting). If you're worried about your good guys, maybe you should take a short mental vacation with them and see what needs to be done about them. :)
