I think I am having a hard time writing the stories now because I am trying to stay too realistic. I think I need to just write as them as characters to get moving again.
I usually don't have the gf's/wives in my stories... latest example, in my new unamed, unposted story, I kill Leighanne before it starts... Kevin and Kristin are only mentioned and well Howie and his wife, well his wife I might make her up and not use his real wife ...
oooh old school. that would be a good challenge.
