Several Updates All Rolled Into One
So I have a few updates that I've been meaning to share. Most are in the fanfiction area, but there's a writing update as well. Today wasn't the worst Monday in the world, but it was certainly a runner-up, and surprisingly work wasn't really that much a part of it. On the drive up, it was rainy and foggy, but although the traffic was slow, there wasn't much else to complain about. It was the drive home later this afternoon that left me exhausted by the time I got home.
I had a semi suddenly switch lanes without brakes, and nearly ran me into a line of cars that had been completely stopped in front of him. Apparenly he was too busy rubber-necking the accident that was off of the road to notice the people who were stopped in front of him. On top of that, after leaving the grocery store, a woman on the phone turns right at the light and onto the road I'm on. She pulls into my lane for a few minutes as I slam on the brakes, and just barely gets over to her lane in time to not hit me.
*Sigh*
It's times like this when my hour-long commute wears down on me. I guess I'm lucky enough to be able to telecommute on Fridays though, so that's something at least!
If you've been following my Fanfiction.net site, you'll notice that I've been posting up several stories there starting yesterday. One is my Lucius Big Bang piece, "As the Seventh Month Dies". The other is my Zombie Bang piece, "My Life as a Dead Man, Regulus Black: Post-Mortem". Finally, the only Batman piece that's new to the list is a short Crane-centered piece that was part of a holiday fanfic exchange my sister and I did. Nothing major, just a short piece we gifted to each other. If you decide to drop by, please leave a comment to tell me what you think so far.
Speaking of fanfiction, I signed up for the next installment of Werewolf Big Bang. Although I'm mostly in the planning and brainstorming stage at the moment, I do think I'll be doing a sequel-ish piece to Dr. Crane and werewolf piece that I did before, The Daemon Within. I think it'll be like a second episode in a series, where you don't necessarily need to read the first part to understand what's going on, but it does indeed help. I need to make some time to get this planned a bit better. Looks like I'll be choosing a day in the near future to catch up on a few of these writing projects in the works!
Oh, and yesterday I got some writing in on my Werewolf novel. Terry watches as the pack decides on what to do with their three captives, and he gets some insight on some of the other motivations going on within the group. I was putting off writing this piece because it's always difficult to balance so many characters at once, though I think I did a fairly good job (for a rough draft). Next up, Katie will be coming around, and it's sure to be a gruesome sight when she sees what Brakkis has with him.
Summary: Leekston is an unassumingly quiet southern town, but it hides many secrets. An unusual government entity that studies the strange supernatural activity in the area is only one of many. Six years after the incident at the Kayak Hills subdivision, Suzie once again must protect her family from the creatures of the night and help to prevent a bloodthirsty werewolf pack from tearing her friends and family apart.
