After a totally awesome birthday weekend, I'm back in action.
I'm currently reading Neil Gaiman's American Gods, which has to be the most awesome book he's written and I've read Neverwhere and Stardust, but not Anansi Boys yet. He's one of the most brilliant fantasy writers I've read. I'm hoping to finish the book before I start NaNo, because I can't read and write at the same time.
I haven't chosen which story I'm going to do for NaNo yet. I've had several stories sketched out -- Aerie, last year's failed attempt that was revamped and Prufrock are my main ones. Aerie is in the lead because I've had it on the brain for a bit lately. I would have preferred a stand alone novel, not a trilogy starter. There's also a myriad of other stories I could do, like Elara or a retelling of Puss in Boots or the retelling of the Iliad story. But I take what the inspiration gives...
I am going to finish one this year. That's my goal. I'm even going to Staples to buy a notebook for it. I feel sort of vindicated about writing by hand, because when I was in high school people thought I was weird for not typing my stories. I can't write a first draft on a computer because my brain just doesn't register digital text the same way. Like sometimes I feel like I want a word to start with a certain letter just because I like the feeling of drawing that letter, that word, out.
Unfortunately, there are no updates for the DA fanfics. I'd like to finish Between The Lines, but I lost Chapter 7 and I have to find it. That one is so close to done I can feel it. I'm still working on them when I find time.
