The funny thing is never really bothered to continue Ace's story, but I guess I have to at some point.
and a taste of my writing process. I will show you folks the original draft for part 2 of his story and you could be the judge.
Quote:
What a difference two years had made. The boy once again sat in his room on the eve of his 15th birthday deep in thought. It was just two years ago that his entire foundation was rocked.
His father abandoned his family which forced the boy to leapfrog past his teen years into the role of adult. His mother spiralled out of control shortly after the abandonment. She began to hit the bottle hard and it began to take its toll on her. By his 14th birthday, the mother barely remembered her own child.
Now the boy held a letter in his hand, it stated that government would take him away from his mother due to neglect. How fitting that he would be removed from his home the next day on his birthday. Two birthdays, two parents.
His mother would be checked into an alcohol rehabitilation clinic. He wondered if he would be allowed to visit. He threw the letter on the bed and wished himself a happy birthday.
----------------------------------
The boy, now a man, neared his 20th birthday. He found himself outside one of those shady bars he seemed to be drawn to. As he stood outside, thinking of his plan of action to sneak in. He thought of the last 5 years. How he had bounced around from foster home to foster home. How he had finally had enough and decided to go out on his own.
Being on his own was not easy at first. Not until he met a kind elderly couple that took him off the streets. He found that he had a certain charm that drew people to him. He began to manipulate this charm to get his way. He charmed and conned his way across the United States. Along the way picking up a lot of skills in his many fields.
He would be an airplane pilot one night and the very next night he would be a cashier at a huge retail chain. He was a lawyer, doctor, Senator and so many positions in between. He stole from the rich to line his pockets and scammed the poor to get around.

Basically as it goes, I write once in my notebook at work.
Then like a week or two later when I get a chance to write it up on GT. In that time, I can see much further into the story and change around original details.
