Writing Practice 27: Ok, ok... Adam time

I believe that I write more for the creative practice of writing more than I write for the art of it.
I'd like my wordcraft to be sharpened, don't get me wrong...
But what inspires me about writing is creating.

I like to make a game of writing, where I write my own parameters and then write to play the game.
The more interesting the content, the more I'll be inspired to write it.
The more I spend time with it, the more interesting it'll be.
A circle, yes, but not a vicious one.


And I would like to focus on "Making Things Work" as my speciality in writing.
I'd like to take a bunch of things I find interesting and figure out a way to make them work in a story. 

I don't know why, but I'd like the Ex-Friend's words to Richard - the words that inspired him so - to be the undertone of Adam's insanity.

It's almost as if I'd like the reader reading a concept that Ex-Friend portrays to Richard, and then through Adam show a gross misinterpreation of that wisdom. I think I'd like to use Adam as a prime example of "great philosophy misunderstood" and have that be the driving force behind his villainy.

He is the villain. I want him to be a villain.
A cool, twisted version of a villain
But, yeah, in the back of my head, Adam is titled: "The villain"

He could potentially destroy the universe, you know?
You don't get much more "villain" than that.

Important Contribution To The Story From This Entry: Adam could have been a Richard, but he just doesn't "get it".
