I don't suppose they're rude in the classic sense either, but it seemed like as good a shorthand as any :)
Yeah, we do chase the oddest characters, and the thing that scares me sometimes is that those characters come from me, my own dark corners and deepest fears and perversions and everything else. They don't get handed to me by some cute muse standing on the desk. I dig them out of the muck and mess in my head.
And yes, I'm better off without that group. I knew it even at the time. It was a long path, but I feel like I'm finally getting to where I can really muscle into a character like Michael. He's very close to some of my deepest fears and most painful memories, and he's a character I couldn't even have imagined a year ago, let alone dared write about.
