Gabriel's voice
I have lost the Gabriel voice! It's quite terrible. I desperately need for him to start talking for me to actually write the third part of my epic, but the only thing I could get out of him was: "Mmmm, Anna has a great ass." Which kinda then traslated into "Foreplay". And after that he buggered off again. So rude. Maybe I should just start writing the other parts in hope that he will get jealous are re-appear suddenly. I could totally write Jinette, his misogyni as assiness (is that a word? well is is now!) is so easy to write. Or mabe Dracula, because he just needs to pervertedly evil. And that's always so much fun.
I'm reading Elisabeth Kostova's The Historian as a kinda inspiration, because it is about Dracula, but...
It's moves too slowly. It lingers and stays in my head, but all the male characters are complete waffels or evil. And not even good!sexy evil, but just manky!zombie evil. The only likable character is Helen, who exists only in flashbacks (which are a huge part of the book, though). The wierd thing is that I do like the book. I just can't seem to wolf it down like I usually do. It's a really slow read and needs a lot of time to be absorbed. I do like the fact that Helen is very much like Anna and I can totally relate to her as a character. The others, not so much.
I keep getting annoyed that Dracual is not actually in the picture (minus a threatening omnicient presence). I want him to swoon in and eat everybody. Which would be kinda deteriorating to the actual plot, but I'm a spaztick reader, really, so don't trust my oppinion. The thing is I'm about halfway thorugh the novel and I feel like I have read ten books just in that one. I want resolution! I want easy answers, damnit!
so not much help from that front either. Also I have way too much things to do during the coming week to even contemplate any heavy plotting sessions. Maybe after things quiet down here after middsummer.
I do live in hope. So if you happen to see Gabriel blubbering around your back yard, please do send him my way! I promise to write some juicy p0rn.
