cornerofmadnessI need one topic for my FB chat about Snowbound and Soldiers of the Sun. I've talked about a day in a life of a soldier, historical research, urban fantasy, hurt comfort and one picture post I can't use as written as I forgot you can't embed a picture into a facebook post. I was going to talk about Temple's PTSD and hypersexuality then thought maybe that's a better blog post. That might be a reason to avoid the story. I'm worried about that post. Anything else you might think would make a good post. I need it for tomorrow. Thanks
Today slipped by me. I did get out there shopping. Took some books over to Half Price books. Went to Marshall's and got a cool hearst for Halloween. Yes I bought Halloween crap, don't judge.
And worked on these damn posts.
I forgot to mention the weird dream I had. I dont' remember all of it but I know I was in either a school or hospital. The floor had the weird busy carpeting you see in office buildings and casinos. It was blue with yellow and red flowers and was covered with rats, little rats, piebald rats, bunnies and dead ones of all kinds. Teens were there, many of them sitting on that hideous floor.
I stopped into the office to tell them about the infestation. I couldn't tell if it was HR or a secretary office but they just looked at me with dead eyes, uncaring about what was going on. I went back out. Kanda was there and he was attacking a weasel like creature with golden fur. I wanted to stop them but I couldn't move. The thing got away from Kanda but he caught it and tore out a hunk of its neck. I had to watch it pant and struggle with confused eyes as it died. Then woke up. Tonight, for real, I saw a bird hit the porch and fall. I just thought it slipped off the rail until I found it on the ground, looking up at me. It had those same pained confused eyes. It's wing was broken. I tried to catch it but it struggled away...into the highway. Sigh.
Words written today are still all blog posts but the word count is 1,299

Date: 2015-08-11 12:34 pm (UTC)Perhaps you could talk about where your story inspiration comes from or how you motivate yourself to write. Most of us write when we’re in the mood but its harder when you have deadlines to meet or publishers to please. What happens when you get the dreaded writers’ block? Do you need peace to write, or do you prefer background noise or music?
Perhaps you could talk more about your characters? Describe their childhood perhaps or give some story that isn’t in the book – your readers might like an extra insight into your world.
