Welcome to 2019!

I hate missing deadlines, especially this early in a new year. However, this one took a little longer because it’s more than my typical post. I wanted to get the introduction just right.

A character’s origin story is a staple of the comic book genre that is rarely found in other genres. Main characters receive the most attention, of course, and their origin stories may span multiple adventures. The origin and background of the primary characters in the Jagged Earth will be revealed primarily through novels and short stories.

I've been writing poems, lyrics and stories of varying quality since I was in my teens, which means most of my archives are on paper in three-ring binders! I've been creating characters in various RPG systems for at least that long. I've always thought characters made the story: good characters can live on through story after story. It wasn't until the last 6 or 7 years that I felt I could write characters well enough to be engaging. You'll have to let me know how I'm doing.
