Outlaw Starr

Nasty Nathan!

Kai Starr — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 05:00:30 +0000

Woof. I really hate some of my characters. Well, not really hate them, hate them, because they are my fictional children, but some of them do reprehensible things, things that I just do not like to have to write. Nathan Blake, for instance, simply needs to have his terrible head blown off. It’s very hard to write for a character as nasty as he is, for to do so honestly, I have to get into his head and think as he thinks, follow his twisted logic and see things as he sees them. It’s not easy, and it’s not pleasant, either. He has managed to disturb me in a deep way, today, and I know it’s only going to get worse, from here. (O.o)

Today, in Desperado Dawn, Nasty Nate does nasty things to poor Jenny Sue Carter.

Busy, Busy Me

Very busy week! I haven’t much to say, today. Sorry about that. I’ll try to do better at having something interesting to say, once the current crisis in my life has passed by. (O.o)

Today, in Desperado Dawn, Sheriff Jackson goes to see George Thicke at the doctor’s house, to gather some information about the attack.

The Chaos In My Mind

Kai Starr — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 05:01:47 +0000

Ha! My mind is all chaotic, this week. I’ve made a bunch of silly mistakes, in a bunch of different places. Simple things, like forgetting to change a link or putting in a wrong name, here and there. I think I’m just a bit on the exhausted side, both physically and emotionally. A lot of stuff happens to me, on a daily basis, and not all of it is good! I don’t talk about all of it, here, because I imagine nobody really wants to hear about the soap opera that is my life. I have enough drama going on in my stories, eh? But yeah, sometimes, things get really rough for me. It’s not all peaches and cream. I do the best I can, with whatever I’m handed, though. I don’t stop trying, no matter what. That either makes me a stubborn go-getter, or a pathetic fool. I’m not sure which, and frankly, I don’t really give a damn, anyway.

I’ve also been having some really, REALLY weird dreams, lately. I’m almost tempted to talk about them, but they are so surreal, that if I told them, I’d probably just have everyone believing I was some kind of opium fiend, or something. For the record, I’m not an opium fiend. I’m a chocolate fiend. A bona fide chocoholic. Thank God chocolate is not yet illegal! (^-^)

Today, in Desperado Dawn, Josh, Molly and Ricky take leave of their kindly host, and Josh hears his first words about the nasty Nathan Blake.

Distractions Drive Me To Distraction!

Kai Starr — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 05:01:56 +0000

I have been very distracted, this past week, so I’ve had trouble finding good chunks of time to write. I generally prefer to keep things going at a faster clip than I have been able to manage, but I’ve still got some good stuff to share with you, today. I hope you all enjoy it!

Today, in A Covenant of Shadows, Doctor Rubenstein gets an unexpected and unpleasant surprise, when he tries his procedure out on Genjiro. And in Desperado Dawn, Jenny and George leave Austin in the middle of the night, and have a very…unfortunate run-in with the infamous outlaw, Nathan Blake, and his nasty little gang.

Not Much To Say, Again!

Kai Starr — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 05:08:41 +0000

Sheesh, I still don’t feel like I have anything that particularly needs saying in this blog, today. Aren’t you glad? Oh well. Stories are more important! (^-^)

Today, in A Covenant of Shadows, Hiroki Risu takes great pleasure in taunting Genjiro as the guards lead him toward Dr. Rubenstein’s lab. And in Desperado Dawn, Sheriff Jackson and his posse track Josh, Molly and Ricky across the Colorado River, before losing their trail.
