What's Up, Good-Lookin'?

4/21/2012

Finishing COB? Yeah... I'll do it on the night... Oh! But I did take care of that pesky hetero-impotence! You won't believe it, but I totally got back into that vibe by basically writing fan fiction. *accomplished grin* I think it was because I didn't have to try and get into the head of an original character. I already knew their motivations and what now. Not wasting brain power made it easier to play with emotions and scenarios.

I have done a bit more with COB. It's been awesome adding and cutting. I feel good about the changes. I was thinking sometime I'll put a snippet of a new scene up here and show you guys.

I've thought of some awesome ideas. And when I say that, I mean awe-some. Hopefully I can write up some scenarios soon that go along with it.

This was just to check in. 

Out.

An Odd Thing

2/28/12

I have yet to post the new short story. If you follow my paper trail at all you won't be surprised by this admission as it is not on Fiction Press or Adult Fan Fiction. I still plan to share since I don't think anyone online really knows my "Heather" work (aka the hetero stuff haha.) The reason it's not up yet is because I'm not satisfied with it. Yes, I know this is just a blurb from a bigger universe and most likely won't even be in the larger work, but still...

I've come to some startling revelations about myself. I think I have "lost" my connection to hetero characters. Give me asexual and homosexual any day but try hetero? I sometimes find myself at a loss now for what these characters might think and feel when being intimate or pursuing a love interest. It's all very strange. It's not like I am a heterophobe, believe me, that's not the case at all *lecherous grin* but when it comes to romantic elements in writing, and it is between men and women, I seem to be all hands. A curious situation. I am blaming some current trends in literature. Every time I read something now it seems I roll my eyes or am left deeply unsatisfied by those elements. It makes me not want to do it in my own writing. Does that make sense? Probably not, but there you are.

We're Moving Right Along

2/7/12

As far as COB goes, it's going rather well. I've written close to 1000 words of new content, cut and changed  certain details. I'm only 100 pages or so into the novel, so many great things are still to come. There's even a new character thrown in, not a main character, he supplements a few things that needed to be addressed but were forgotten the first time around.

I am also working on a new short story, just for fun. It's practically writing itself so it might even be done today. If so, it'll be on Coco Reed's accounts. Look for "No King for the Crown" if you want something new to read and you're not one of those weird people that has an aversion to hetero stories...

Well, it's not Nothing

I've got to try and remember to add dates to these entries, because the maker of this lovely template felt the need to leave them out. Anyway...

From this moment on, I hope, all references to "An Indigo Feather" will now be "The Calling of Blood," or COB, respectively. Honestly, I don't know why a reasonable title eluded me for so long. I like to think this title makes a lot more sense than the last. With the whole Changing and multiple references and significance of blood and all...

Woo! So that's done. :)

It May Seem Silent

So, AIF is completed on Fiction Press and Adult Fan Fiction. Now what?

Well, I will finish uploading the two other Lyre stories and I think I'll throw the Narcissus story up there as well, just for the fun of it. Meanwhile, I will be editing and querying. It might seem like I drop off the face of the Internet, but I assure you, I'll be here. Whenever I have some breaking news, I'll be sure to post. If you're more curious than that you can check out my non-writer blog on Live Journal, my name is socky_mojo there. Should warn you though, I've had to up security on that and now it's friends-only. Or it should be... Check it, if you care to: http://socky-mojo.livejournal.com/

Wow, apparently someone does read this! :) Yes, there are sequels planned and new ideas to be made. Stick around!

Too Much on My Plate?

Actually, I like to think that the plate is just too small for what I got going on.

So I've gone and thought of more ideas for stories, stories that will need serious thought and research. Have I finished my other projects? Nooooooo. Why would I do that? Where's the fun in that? However, this has given me new bursts of energy to do that much more editing when I want to stop for the day and level my blood elf death knight.* I've been reading a lot lately. Not just "research" either; neat reference, history and how-tos. The how-tos kind of amuse me (a whole little segment telling me to first and foremost figure out my setting and characters lolrly? thanks I guess I'm on the right track... ^_^), but they do kind of also help get my juices flowing. Oh, oh and my friend gave me a book on cryptography for Christmas. Be prepared, people, be prepared!

*I'm not kidding. I have one of those, currently at 79. So close and yet so far!

Happy New Year!

S Novym Godom! <-- That's me saying Happy New Year in Russian, but with English-speakers in mind. :P

Hey look! I updated before the end of the year! Huzzah!

I am getting a lot of editing done. Woo! I'm going to be writing too, as soon as I update this and my lj, if it lets me on. Mayhaps the coming year will be awesome and productive since I am being awesome and somewhat productive right now.

See you guys on the flip-side!
