The year is almost gone. Quite a few things I am looking forward to happen in '08, so I think I'll be ready to write the correct date when it changes.
My druthers have chosen to go out with a bang in terms of reading.
This contributes to the fact that I brought home 16 books from the library.
What also contributes is that I've been compiling "research" books for my next novel, which I am liberated officially to start on now because
Aolon, the 200,000+ word 1st draft, is done!
Oh, I am mighty pleased.
So what I'm working on next (I hope this is the right one...) is Sunschild, a story in which there are three elemental mage-lords--
Wait.
That wasn't the one I was thinking of.
See, life is hard, and choosing which baby to have is even HARDER.
I have books out to work out a world where a caucasian people went east via Siberia, catching some Asian on the way, to settle across the northern-but-not-arctic belt, starting our hero off in the far corner of civilization...Maine.
Only it's Not!Maine.
Maybe I'll spend a few months world-building that manifesto and write about my rebellious firesummoner in post-apocalyptic Rainier area during?
*sigh*
The euphoria is so easily put aside...
win!,
aolon: vol5,
