Characters NAGGING Me - I Tell Ya ...

Okay, it's not like the characters of my latest story are literally nagging me. 

Actually, it's more my own self suggesting that I ought to be getting more words down instead of focusing so much on the visuals. 

The reason is obvious when I stop to think about it, which I really would rather NOT (think about it that is) - it's that I am intimidated by doing the eyes of the portraits, afraid I will totally mess them up and wreck the whole works. 

So I go into procrastination mode, look for something else I can do to delay having to do what I know bloody well I have to do. 

The most logical thing, from my perspective, is going into word mode. 

SIGH. 

I hate it when I figure myself out. 

Going back to the eyes now. 

THEN we'll see what the characters have to say. 

I already know part of it: 

"How do you think you can portray us when you don't even KNOW us yet?  We are our own selves, HELLO!  Not clones of anyone you might think you already know."

And they have a point as they are clearly already NOT exactly the same as the people I thought I was going to model them after. 

But onward I go.
