whoever said that we writers have an easy job of it was lying through their teeth
Right, so, about the Evangeline thingummy: I'm getting flashes of the ending, and I'm not sure I like it. It's a bit more bittersweet than I usually write (er, for long projects, anyway; most of my short fanfiction is gloomy and wistful, as you lot are well aware), and I've tried to reject it, but it's being very stubborn. I don't know what gave me the idea I'd be able to resist. It is What Happened. I am only the lowly transcriber. Also, I don't think it's been done before. Not that I would know, having read almost nothing concerning vampires, particularly in popular fiction. Then I start thinking about it again and am of the mind that it is complete sentimental rubbish and should be purged from my mind straightaway. I have been going back and forth on it for several days now. Augh. I'm also not entirely sure how to do what I need to do, but then I'm not really sure about how to do what needs to be done for any of this story to work, so I reckon that's not a very potent issue at the moment, all things considered.
(Some of the Slavic legends I read recently were rather fascinating, by the by. I am beginning to hope that I will discover after writing Evangeline's story that I have not said everything I would like to say about vampires, or find some way to fit the legends into the framework. Which reminds me: I need more legends. Must conquer paranoia of university library.)
