Post 2: A Stroke of Genius

The main thing I was unsure of about my plot was why would Evan kill himself? He seems to be a very positive kid that can look at the world and turn it into art. This bothered me a lot. But why does he have to commit suicide? Wouldn't it make much more sense to die of a disease? Yes. Yes it would. So that is my official change right now. Even does not commit suicide, but dies of a fatal disease.

  1. Like depression? Just kidding. But seriously, sometimes the most optimistic people are the ones with the worst issues. A lot of artists are suicidal. Look at Dickenson, Hemingway and that guy who wrote the Confederacy of Dunces, which everyone loves but me. Maybe he felt it was an artistic decision. You know, so people would take him seriously.

  2. I just wanted you to know that the weird squiggly letter thingy just made me type in "lameme" which I think suggests that I am lame me.
