too boring to blog about. I spent it making exams and trying to fulfil writing obligations and failing at all of it.

( Day 8 of writing meme )

8. What's your favorite genre to write? To read?

Mystery, fantasy and urban fantasy. And I like to blend them in my writing. I read a little horror and SF but that's about it. I admit it. I have a narrow range of reading interests. Luckily there is PLENTY THERE to choose from

that said I'm putting away A Game of Thrones. It's #1 in the song of fire and ice series but my god it's 900 pages long and it is SOOOOO hateful toward women. I KNOW that in the middle ages this was the prevalent attitude but you know, if i wanted that I'd read a historical. Maybe it gets better. I know so many of my flist love it but i'm not in the mood for this right now.

you all know i've been too sick to do much. I've written less than 800 words of original fiction in two weeks and barely banged out any fanfic for the necessary comms. Blech.

I did do a little thinking about the future. I think I'm laying off the erotica for a little while to get back into the novels. I MUST finish one this year. That is my goal.

Also I'm thinking ahead to nano. I would like to write something female centric. I'm beginning to think I've lost all ability to write a convincing female. A weird realization since i AM one.

I was thinking of reviving an idea that got set to the side. It's incorporates ideas like the Nepalese 'living goddesses' and magic and 1920's tech. Basic plot, The Tarsina (in appearance think India) have all but wiped out the Yaarians (think Norse) in a war 10 years ago. Since then Ethon & Princess Izire have come to realize the military is a shil for her father and younger brother who are slowly going insane/drunk on power. Her older brother and heir apparent is now dead. Izire is probably next. SOmeone is trying to undercut the people's faith by attacking the goddesses (It's Izire's brother) and hopes to foment more war. However the plot goes quickly awry when Archana, the first of the goddesses attacked escapes.

Look I've even tried to outline. Imagine that.
