Mary Frith stole my heart

I have a weakness for cross-dressing pick pockets, what can I say?

Progress

Though there were many struggles with my senior project, I feel like things are starting to turn around for the right track. I'm not going to give into commitment issues. I'm going to be so committed I'll practically be in an asylum.

For me... it's always the first draft main characters that end up not working out. They always turn out flatter than a steam-rolled pancake. The secondary characters are always so much more rich. My independent comic-book project features side-characters from another story I'm writing. Because they're so much more interesting with so much background to explore!

I digress.

I think what's been holding me back the most is my reluctance to write female leads because I don't want to be labeled as "the woman writer who only writes women." But right now... the main lead isn't cutting it because he's overshadowed by his romantic interest. Time to give her the spotlight she deserves.

The only time I've had a panic attack... I guess you could say it was artificially induced.
