Great writing tonight--an additional 1010 added to WH, and I didn't want to stop. Torment! I can't wait to get back to it tomorrow night... Whoa. I haven't felt like this in awhile. I hope I'm not dreaming...
Work is super-slow right now. This is not unexpected, as the railroad tends to slow down between holidays. Been true all of the 12 years I've been associated with BNSF, so no big deal.
Raises came and went last week, bonuses yesterday, reviews today and tomorrow...and life goes on. All is well with the business, which is good, except I am extraordinarily bored during this off-season.
So in order to entertain myself, as I can't talk to N all day, which I really and truly miss like crazy, and I can't write at work (boss tends to pop by too much), I research. Wikipedia, I love you...even if there are mistakes all over the place.
Today's research was of course for Wolfhunter. I have my work cut out for me not to make WH like all the other urban fantasy stories out there (i.e., there will not be any werewolves or vampires in the foreseeable future...though if I could figure out how to get that vampire kit into a modern setting, I might...and damn if an idea how just smacked me in the forehead, whoa--BOOK II??? HEH!)
Lost track there. Sorry. ANYWAY...a few things I ran across last night, and a lament posted on Amazon, and the realization that I didn't have a satisfactory mythos for WH led me down a happy little garden path that I am, for some reason, extremely reluctant to post about on an open blog. Heck I'm extremely reluctant to post ANYTHING remotely writerly about my personal writing on an open blog.
So, with that in mind, I'm finally breaking down and creating a writing-only custom group. Someplace where I can yack freely to myself about what I am doing. I'd considered doing this in the past but really, I hadn't the project worthy. Thought I did, and it still might be later (Stage) but that is a different sort of writing and, well, quite frankly? I don't wanna work so hard at writing right now. I want to have FUN, I want to write a story that *I* would love to read, create characters who are the kind of people I would surround myself with if I were my main character...yeah.
I need a place where I can put down thoughts, and even post excerpts now and then. My dear Epic Steampunkers have done this, and I really like what they've pulled together there. Nice nice and a great way to keep track of things--all specific to WolfHunter, which is my first fic for the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
getyourwordsout madness.
Anyone who would like to be on that closed list, holler. Otherwise, it'll just be me and my brain (which is fine, too).
