Has anyone noticed that the days are not changing their length? Usually by this time, the days are getting lighter earlier, however, it seems like it’s the other way around. I know, I know, those in the northern hemisphere experience the change in the opposite way, but have you guys noticed if the days are starting to get shorter? Weird. Maybe it’s me …

Characters
I don’t know if I’ve spoken about working with characters, but sometimes it can be a challenge.
I think the biggest character challenge I have and have had is my experimental character. I do everything possible to this character. The poor man has been human trafficked, secreted out of the country, abducted numerous times and even hypnotised.
One of the worst things I ever did to him was to put him into an extremely vulnerable position and compromise him so much that I could only call him shattered.
After that, he looked at me and said “I want to try being evil for a while.” So I did and he turned and nearly blew up Honolulu. Last time I listen to a character when they say “turn me evil”!
On that note, I am going back to my roaring fire and lunch.
Talk to you again soon!
