And as for today
I really don't have much to say. I continue to chisel out the misshapen form of my novel (slowly, very slowly) and with more eagerness I work on more fic. (Which I stick up at AO3 instead of here, because...because.)
I'm still reading, I'm still writing, I'm still doing my thing.
My cats are well, my family is well...
In the end let's go back to the most important thing to talk about here: my writing. I'm slowly chiseling out the details and plot hooks of an original novel that I want to write - I want to do it justice, and I want the characters to take me away from here, and to that end my craft needs to be better.
There are themes (identity, what ties people together) and character concepts - I realized recently that I am a sucker for high concept stories, which...well, how do make plot interesting without losing coherency? And all that.
...It's slow work, but steady. And meanwhile I keep writing fic, because it's like an old pair of boots: fits perfectly and gets you places.
Still heavily into Avengers, still waiting for Captain America 2: Winter Soldier, still waiting for the next issue of Fearless Defenders to come out...
Little last piece of happiness: Shin Megami Tensei IV is getting a US release this summer, which is the best news I could've hoped for.
(Funny how I go from serious talk straight to geekery. I'm glad I'm like that.)
