Fiction is not my thing

Against my will, I am writing a short story. Do not get me wrong, I love, love, LOVE reading. Reading someone else's imagination is a lot easier than writing my own creative thinking. I am sure being an author will be a struggle.

As horrible as writing may sound, creating the characters is pretty fun. Going on Hero Machine and getting to form my characters helped me to visualize the actual appearance. There were so many options to choose from and those choices assisted me in compsing my short story.

Beforehand, I have written that fiction is not exactly my cup of tea. I am not joking. Fashioning this story into existence might be one of the hardest things I have ever done. I can produce some of the most amazing creations on canvas, but put a pencil in my hand and say "Write..," I am doomed for weeks of brain farts.

As I was shaping the main person in my story, I knew that she had to be different. As a result, I gave her red flaming hair and fiery blue eyes. She needed to be tough and stubborn on the inside and outside, so she holds a gun with a roll of ammunition crossing her torso. Her pants are torn giving her an "I can go through anything" look. My character's stance is proud and and firm showing she know what she is doing and why.

This story will not be easy. I am sure some will just breeze right through this project with ease and confidence, but me, ha, I am just gonna roll with the punches. Wish me luck!
