I feel like I need to say hi because it has been so long.
@ Lile--
You did a little shout out for me so, I thought I might do one for you ! You have really been an inspiration to me. I have been battling with writers block for a while and it's causing a traffic jam . . . if that makes any sense. A single block has been keeping me from where I want to go. Can't wait to see what you get up to.
Layout
I really wanted to update for Valentine's Day but, I just wanted to hold on to what I was working on a little longer. Either way, I want to use this layout for a while.
What's New ?
Before I get into OHG, I want to talk about the ideas that are kind of floating in my head. In fact I took a little cue from LiLe
En Moritas
I'm sorry if that was really awful. I considered just flashing the cover images.
As I work on OHG, I realize how much I miss short form writing, A few plotlines about the Veritas characters kept creeping up on me so, I decided why not ? And I decided to write some short stories. I won't say to much but, En Moritas will basically be some 1,000 - 3,000 word stories. I know what they will all be about but, I am only 800 words deep in one of them. It won't be posted soon but, I loved Lile's trailers so much I thought it might be fun to make one.
Caught In Your Paranormal Romance
Ah, the paranormal romance. There is no real progress on this story but, I thought I might update you. I keep the idea of a paranormal romance in the back of my head and over the past few weeks I have come up with one good solid character. They have a name, a personality and everything. I just need the right plot for them and supporting cast. (yep, no gender clues)
I know exactly what the "paranormal" aspect will be. I also have some of the romance worked out but no real story. I may start plotting some items soon.
This will most likely be another short story. Maybe 5 or 6 chapters, if that.
OMG, OHG
I have to say this serial started out as just one simple short story (Teenage Dream). I really thought I had some meat and topical-ness for this story but, it has been harder than it thought. I have recently found some new inspirations so, it has gotten better.
There is definitely a reason most "dirty realism" is written in short story form. It is hard to write in simple prose with characters who are supposed to essentially "do nothing" for so long.
But, I do love these characters so much so, it's all good. Plus, I have some great music I plan to use in the future. I have some songs I could listen to over and over again.
