Over the past few years I have been developing a character for a horror / thriller I planned to write.
The thing is, I have a best friend who is a writer as well and I've always thought it would be cool to write something with her. We get through part of the plotting and planning, then end up never really talking about it again because one of us gets bored.
The content I like to write is very heavy and she knows that. One day, we were talking and she decided that she wanted to create a sibling for my horror character. I was happy and excited that she was going to write their journey with me. The same thing happened as before, though I really wanted to write for this character of mine - so I continued asking her about it and finally, a few weeks ago I got an honest answer from her (finally, she told me that it was too heavy for her). Which was a fucking relief, but at the same time, it pissed me off. We have been waiting for each other for a long time, it's part of the reason why I could never really finish anything I started (there are a lot more reasons though, I'm not blaming it all on her) because I wanted to write with her, my best friend and we just kept stalling and wandering away from our ideas. Some of them were amazing, like, so amazing that one person couldn't possibly think of it by themselves so it was disappointing every time we separated ourselves from our writing.
So, I continued writing my horror character all by myself because I was so angry and it's gone really well so far. Being in school again has helped, I had a short story assignment and wrote something using my character I worked so hard on.
Now I have tons of plans for where I want my writing to go. I am going to be creating many novella's about her life, starting at the beginning because I like the whole story, not just bits and pieces in one or two books. This way, readers will understand more and grow with her like I have.
