The final dot is made
My writing done for the day
Still I hear that monster
Scratching at my mind
I had to let him out
To make the scene complete
Easing on the chainThat wraps around his throat
I needed his aggression
Swimming in his darkness
Trying not to drown
And let him take the reins
I struggle to put him back
Behind the door and locks
He is not meant to unleashed
Upon my mind and world
Legends of Windemere 
Cool..really, really cool!

This “beast” waits and then attacks every time I leave the key board. Damn thing

I’ve had to write a lot of nasty villain scenes in my current book, so I’ve been fighting this ‘beast’ far too often. I’m starting to regret making such an evil villain for my story. It’s exhausting and slightly nauseating to write some of his scenes.

I took the beast as a metaphor for the guilt’s of incomplete writing sessions.

I feel your pain. For the novel I’m currently working on, the villain has turned out to be a more vile and loathsome character than I originally anticipated. I’ve only written one scene with him and that was enough to fill me with dread for future scenes. But the way the story is unfolding, I can’t imagine him as a sympathetic villain. I feel like I just have to tough it out and hope it goes easier on my future readers than it does on me.

The earlier villains were rather sympathetic to some extent. This new guy is pure evil, which I didn’t know I had in me.

Admittedly, that’s part of what makes me nervous about my villain, that I have the capacity to imagine someone so evil, to imagine and write in detail about his evil actions. Almost makes me want to use a pseudonym.

It’s scary, but necessary if you think about it. The evil of the villain is what instills and drives the good of the hero.

I was going to say that my heroes are all human and have heavy feets of clay. But there is one character who is kind of a lost soul, battling some internal demons. If she is the one who brings the villain to justice, then she may redeem herself. Oh, I think I’ve just been inspired! Gotta write …

You might need more than locks for that one.
