I'm not sure if I hate writing or not. In fact, I think I love writing, but it's so frustrating. Awhile ago I was working on a short story that I was going to post here. I got pretty far on it, and then everything stopped. I reached the climax, and now I don't know where to go from there. I know there's a couple loose ends to tie up(the Count is still unaccounted for, and he's fairly important) but I don't know how to do it. So right now the main character is looking at one of his soldiers and the dead body of that soldier's partner, and he's going to ask for an explanation, but I don't even know how to do that! Everything I come up with seems so sucky. AGH! I really like writing when my brain is going along with it, but I hate it so much when I can't think. It's still fun though, and I'm bad at ending my stories anyway, so one more isn't that frustrating. I'll just keep thinking about it and something will come to me. And if not, I'll come up with a really crappy ending where everything gets solved by me skipping the details.

In other news, I've been reading Berserk and I love it. It's set in a medieval world, and while it's got a bunch of anime/manga cliche's(big sword, check; dark past, check; essentially useless comic relief character who's also small, check) but the story for it really appeals to me. And the artwork is pretty good too. I'm probably going to end up stealing stuff from it for that other story that I'm not really working on, but since I'm already being inspired by a bunch of stuff, one more won't hurt.
