I'm currently in the process of writing something a bit controversial.  It has the potential to step on a lot of (or maybe a few) toes, but I'm willing to risk it for the sake of having something to say on the subject.  What caused this?

This article.
three women, magic power, fantasy


The only book I've ever published is about a character that I created in high school. 



So a lot of my long term ideas on women are somewhat compounded in that character.    I haven't taken the time to look at her as anything other than a fantasy daughter who I've been raising for more years than one of my own children.  As characters grow and as their creators mature, they begin to open up to new perspectives.  That is very much the reason why Eiko that exist as a novel/screenplay is a tad bit different than the comic intended source material.  I digress.

So these ideas on women are reflected in that major contribution to literature (sarcasm) that is Eiko.  But what does that mean you might be wondering.  

My attitudes on women and where those ideas come from are seen in the aspects of the characters entire existence.  They are a reflection of how I view women as a whole good or bad.  In Eiko I reflect my own desires for the perfect woman or at least how I would see them.  Because Eiko has been a constant companion we reflect on each other and 

I think that I am better for it.  This new article will go into some of the behind the scenes of why Eiko reflects how I feel and the strength the character has that goes towards being a person than a gender stereotype.  Some people might disagree.  It deals with a few subjects that may make people uncomfortable hearing. My hope is to express a very positive attitude and show something about how I create and what values are important to me and possibly why they should be important to all content creators.
