Well, we've got one Alcoholic (Leon Blackthrone). The ghost of the daughter thing sounds really weird. I gotta admit it raises a tiny red flag somewhere in recesses of my mind. Things like that can get very played out and annoying, very fast. But having said that, I don't know exactly how you would approach it. Getting hammered and talking to her is one thing, having conversations with an apparition on a regular basis would probably get old and mildly cheesy in a hurry.But I'm all for different, strange, and otherwise fringe. That's what sets me apart as a writer. I don't do what's already been done.

Honestly the hope is for it to come off as more of a quirk than something cheesy. I was actually angling toward a more flicker at the edge of the character's vision kind of thing than a "I'm having a conversation with my dead daughter" thing. I think it would be interesting to use it as part of the character's moral compass. More of a reminder of past wrongs and the things you should have done but don't always do

Do you have a time frame in mind for the writing samples? like am i looking at a 24 hour turn around or something a little longer?
