allichatonI feel like slime. I did a freewrite at school today to figure out what happens next in my NaNo novel, and I'm having a love-hate relationship with the ideas I came up with. They're good ideas, sure to be heart-wrenchers, but...one of them involves the baby daughter of Kayla, my first and hands-down all-time favorite main character, being murdered by a lunatic mage who wants to use the energy her death would unleash to complete a frighteningly spell, and the kid would be murdered in front of Kayla. It would be an awesome scene, really powerful, and I can already see it in my mind, but Kal would die.
The other idea I got from a bit of what I wrote that seemed like it could be foreshadowing, but it has to do with Kayla being put in the position where she's got to choose between trying to save Aren or trying to save her daughter. The ideas got massive gut impact, but I've never been in that kind of love, nor have I ever had a child, so I've no clue not only what emotions might go through her, but also what she'd eventually choose. Luckily, I don't think that's coming up for a while. Thank god, because I really don't want to deal with it right now.
