Characters

Today I watched the movie that came out a couple years ago: Little Red Riding Hood. She has always been one of my favorite characters. I even wrote my own variation of her years and years ago. Lately I have been thinking if I can find the story, perhaps I should dust it off and see about publishing it. I really liked the premise for it.
It's pretty amazing how you can take one simple idea and suddenly have five different versions of it simply because it was written by five people. I think that's fabulous.
Being true my latest tastes in reading, I have begun Sir Author Conan Doyle's Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes. I have to say, I love the BBC version of Sherlock Holmes, where they've set it in a completely modern era. I have often considered trying to write a mystery myself (well, other than my first completed novel kept safely away from any eyes, lol) but though I do love to read them, I'm not sure that would be my forte, and I must admit as a reader, I don't always like it when my favorite authors try to veer into a different genre...
As I did a short walk today (one of my doggies went with me and well, having a doggy when you are just going around a jogging path over and over again is a definite recipe for a short walk), I considered possibilities for one of my Club Strigoi Characters. Now, the idea is very new and budding so I won't go into many details. But it really is a good thing that I am at least thinking about that series again.
It is a sign that I feel at least a bit more relaxed that I am able to feel my stories budding in my brain again, the characters beginning to whisper before they full out start screaming at me.
This is good...
