Progress continues in the re-plotting of Dark Medicine as I plow through one of the most time consuming elements of plotting—creating believable characters. I may make the process to complicated as I pull in different aspects of philosophy and psychology and mold them into a character. Yet I want them to be as real as you and I.

Dark Medicine is plotted with twenty characters, each one takes an hour to two hours to create. Each character has psychological and moral needs, they all have dreams and backgrounds, and roles to play in the Dark Medicine Universe. No matter how small their role or the outcome of those roles, each must be crafter with equal care.

I know my deadlines have been knocked askew with everything that has been going on, but once I have the plot done, I can turn my attention to the actual crafting of the story.
