I've been working on a story and, to date, have only had a sketchy one-name placeholder for an antagonist and needed to build one from scratch.
At this point, he's been just a watcher. No spoilers, but he needed to be evil. Deep and wide. I had to make him guilty of something heinous. Several somethings. Give him a taste for it. Amp up the horror to warrant some sublime justice.
The prime crime revealed itself. I jotted down a few notes, shot the scene in my head, and tripped right over a personal phobia to the point that I couldn't go to sleep. Getting it on paper is going to be difficult.
Now, even the Spirits fear him.
The series "The Crown" should be bottled and sold as a cure for insomnia. I longed for bourbon but made do with turgid TV.
