Unofficial Summary for Bright Pessimism:

Fifteen-year old Kristopher Amherst is yet to discover pain. Five years after losing his father to cardiac arrest, his mother's life is taken before his eyes, and he and his two younger siblings must move to East Tennessee to live with his aunt and cousin. However, since he cannot be bothered by anyone else's problems, he runs away into the woods, despite the warnings of his cousin. Now Kristopher faces the challenge that makes him rethink his pain. Mistress Llewellyn Rochester, a sick and twisted woman enslaved on her own estate tucked away into the Smoky Mountains, has kidnapped him and now has him trapped inside her mansion to keep herself company. He only has so long to discover her secret agenda and the evil that lurks behind it, but little does he know he is the perfect play toy for Henry May, the dead nine-year old little boy that holds Mistress Llewellyn hostage. No one is who he seems to be, and no one is consistent in his actions. Kristopher has only so many pieces to the puzzle, but from this he must draw conclusions and stop the masterpiece that has been set in motion, or he will never make it out alive.

Introduction to Bright Pessimism
(from my website)

Bright Pessimism, or BP as it is commonly abbreviated, is a work in progress by me, Cait Shoxxi. The beginning process of writing began on February 5th, 2007. There are two rough drafts of other stories that are based on the same general idea, but neither was continued.

The story really began sometime mid-November of 2006. I was currently working on my other work in progress, Doppelganger, when I began to yearn for the old days, the times I wrote perfectly in my element, which seemed to be suspense/horror. Though I continued writing in my other WIP, I could not stop thinking about this desire of mine. So I started another story, though the main character was a girl. Alexavier (one of the main characters in BP) was the antagonist, but eventually I adopted him into BP.

The new work, despite its success amongst my friends, did not go very far, and I started on another story. I admittedly don't remember much about it, but I began in December. If I am correct I only wrote about two pages when the idea stopped completely. This time around it was a male main character and a female antagonist, which is actually a very recent pattern of mine.

After this rough draft, I scrapped this idea of mine completely and continued to work on Doppelganger. It took me through Christmas and into January, but the ideas for Doppelganger were slowing down quickly. My other idea was coming back to me, but I still had no idea where anything would go.

Then sometime during January I began to roleplay Dungeons and Dragons. I believe this gave me some ideas to go on. I roleplayed as Alexavier, who turned into a magical manwhore (which, ironically, is what he is today). Something about this started my mind up again.

On February 5th, I lay in bed with a migraine. In an odd sense, migraines somehow inspire me with ideas that would have never come otherwise. I closed my eyes and saw in my mind the first chapter of my novel: I saw the main character clearly, and I could see the antagonist as well. In a matter of a few minutes, these two were produced, and I knew them. I knew their names. I knew their behavior. Most of all, I knew what the Hell was going to happen between them.

This was the birth of both Kristopher Amherst and Mistress Llewellyn Rochester.

Of course, some of the ideas of mine evolved into other characters, such as Master Henry May, the evil little dead boy. Again, I had a migraine and I knew Henry in a matter of seconds, including who he was to Llewellyn and how he died. Alexavier came later, but he was the same as my RP character.

Hopefully this has given you some insight of how this WIP has come into being.
