Some Idea

Sep 17, 2013 15:55

In October I'm going to New York Comic Con, which is my first time there and also my first time in NYC since high school (10+ years). I was thinking of bringing a notebook and taking extensive notes on everything we see and do. Even though the majority of my time spent there will be happening at the con, you know I can't resist a good fairy story, so I'll potentially be developing New York in a way that others can't see it...

It'll be my first time writing a real place like that. Most of the time I write descriptive locations that could be Anywhere, USA (or Europe), or otherworld villages that I can basically make up entirely. I have a resident penpal who would probably (likely!) be willing to help me if I had any questions about culture...

But I'm still not sure if that's what I'm writing. As usual, I have no story idea, no plot or characters, just a hint of what I might want this novel to look like. I see green fairies during the day, blue and purple in the evenings, and the dust glows in the moonlight. It looks like ashes in the sun, but the fairies don't mind the heat.

I'm too busy this month to sit down and think about this. Instead, I'll try to eliminate the words "really," "very," and "like" from my vocabulary while I write emails and letters. They've stuck to everything.
