As today's Fable should nicely demonstrate, Sheep is a huge pain in my ass. What possessed me to create a character who is undergoing an emotional metamorphosis and is at the same time mute and thereby unable to vocalize her feelings? What made me think that a character whose personality is that she effectively has no personality would be someone I could write about?
If I'm lucky, people will at least feel some sympathy for her utter pitifulness (pitiability?).
I've got some interesting things to do with Sheep, eventually, but it'll take a little while to get there. Until then, I get drivel like today's post and I have to dread every entry I write with Sheep in it. Until then:
Bah!

That's the problem with allegorical or "gimmick" characters - they tend to drift toward extremes.
Still, it was not a BAD entry. Put the cat-o-nine tails down, dude.

Mmm. I suppose. When I've been generally happy with the way the Fables are going (deleriously happy, in many cases), the ones that aren't up to snuff seem all the worse to me by comparisson.
Bah.
