The main character, Infinite, was left with very little lore and a TON of hate when Sonic Forces came out. This story is intended to show his full backstory and attempt to at least partially rationalize everything. (Ok, you can't fully rationalize what the guy did, but you can show that he had a definite true motive.)

Trying to write in 1st person. I always get mixed up. Also, it's really hard when I get writer's block in the age that I'm writing, but I come up with something for farther down in the story.
Just coming up with everything! From toddler to young adult, I've had to design almost everything for this character and his world. It's really challenged me in world-building!
I think the readers really enjoy what I've been able to do so far. I have noticed in comments that people have related or felt sorry for Infinite and other characters like Amara, which is a positive response.
All of my currently published books are apart of the same series, The War Over Mobius Saga.
Everyone's got good and bad inside of them, regardless of upbringing or occupation, and it's not always their fault when they explode and don't handle themselves well. Sometimes it boils down to their feelings towards others that they love(d) and how they come to think of themselves that defines their morality.

If you hit a writer's block, try to work on something else with those characters, even if it's not the same timeframe. As long as you work with the same characters/same world, it's easier to return with a great idea. You'd be surprised how that's turned out for me.
Case in point for this story: Episode Jackal: Got stuck with the characters as kids, started writing one shots of them when they were older and ultimately published For Amara. That story has a slight retrospect to Episode Jackal, so I can work on developing them from a different angle.

He's kind of stubborn, so am I. If you tell him that he can't do it, he's more likely to do it.

In Episode Shadow, the only glimpse that we see into Infinite's motives except for maybe SF: Rise of Infinite, he has an emotional breakdown for reasons that I can't say because of spoilers. This breakdown has sadly been ridiculed and harshly made fun of. (There are literally memes about it, so sad.) This book takes Infinite and reveals his entire life from his toddler years to the present, allowing the reader to see for themselves everything and also explains why this moment in the canon material wasn't the prettiest scene in the game.
I do! I have two major writing projects as well as one additional project tying in. I'm working on two new original book series called Paws of Zeola and Believers, set in a world that I'm currently world-building. For these two projects, I've also been developing a species especially for them. ^^

Cultivating Earth [Hiatus]
[This fiction is on indefinite hiatus. I'm currently acting as a 24-hour caregiver for my step-father who had a massive heart attack. I apologize for disappearing so quickly, but sometimes that's just life. I'll return as soon as possible. Sorry everyone!] Zhao Gang, after hundreds of thousands of years cultivating, has finally reached the penultimate threshold. He is ready to ascend to the level of True Immortal. Driven by the need for a place his enemies won't find him, Zhao Gang puts together an audacious plan. He has developed a revolutionary new formation which will allow him to ascend while on even the lowest planes. To avoid drawing attention, he has to choose a plane that is relatively desolate, however. He chooses Earth. Fast forward three thousand years. Zhao Gang discovers what his work has wrought - a cultivation-free culture that has delved the deep mysteries of creation - he can't help but think how this tiny little planet devoid of natural energy could affect the course of all creation. There's only one problem. For that to happen, he has to succeed in cultivating Earth. Notes: Chinese names should be ignored in the social context - they don't mean anything. Sorry for slaughtering such a beautiful tradition. This novel starts off slower than most. If the slow-roll isn't your thing, you might want to give this a pass. If it's not for you, I understand. Also, releases may be broken up into smaller chunks. The goal is 5k words, but definitely more than 4k. If you see a short release, be aware that more is probably coming. I'll be honest and say that I'm struggling with each new scene, if only because I want to balance the scope of vision with good pacing. I hope the work I put into it is worthwhile.
