Everyone has them when you have a concept so exciting, an idea so consuming, that it takes possession of your heart if not your muse and you cannot but wait to get your thoughts and plan upon paper. Amirah is defiantly that project for me, it might have to do of trying to wait a month to put her into play and in that time having (and taking) multiple opportunities to tweak, rewrite, and recreate someone i wanted to play.
