Too Close to the Character

Yesterday I finished writing an episode (#69 I think it was) for Arvil Bren's Journal. For those who don't know what I'm talking about read 'Serial Fiction' in the sidebar--->. Anyway, in this particular episode there is a villain armed with a dagger that basically puts her victims to sleep. She leaves a bloody trail of slit throated corpses who clearly never even drew a weapon to defend themselves. Arvil, being the hero of the story, naturally has to deal with this at some point.

His battle with her took me three days to write. I kept having to take a nap.
