"But if the 'sploding gets all big, won't it get bad?"
Yeah, so I was all ready to go to work on this new dragon tale, when my stomach exploded. Stupid stomach. I won't give out details; they're too disgusting. Suffice it to say that the toilet is my new best friend. Thankfully after sleeping for 12+ hours (with intermittent trips to the porcelain throne) I am feeling a lot better. I think it was something I ate, but as long as I never eat it again, I don't care. I actually managed to eat some soup earlier. Funny how something simple like the act of eating and keeping it down becomes a major accomplishment when you're sick. So if you're eating while you're reading this, geez, I'm sorry to be gross, but at least you can eat! Be grateful for those little things 'cause you never know when they're going away into the realm of OhMyGodsIcan'tmovewithoutextremepainsandfarting... ;)
On a brighter note (or at least a less disgusting one), I'm tracking several ideas for a dragon story. But I can't seem to settle. It will be YA, so there will be a coming-of-age. I want to use a dragon's point of view. That is such a rare thing and difficult to do well, but I like challenges. Now here's where I'm getting stuck - do I want to create a new world to use, use a historical period, or take on modern times? The dragon in modern times has been done by one fantasy author already (Makdammit if I can remember the guy's name), but it was an adult series set firmly in the adult section. Right now a totally new world sounds very inviting. Less research, more creation. Any one of them is a lot of work in regards to background, but creation of a new world means that no one gets to correct me if I'm wrong. *grins* Hmmm.... the wheels are turning.... I think I'm going to get off LJ and start into a new Word Document. If my stomach doesn't have a relapse, maybe I can actually get something done!
