Mundane overview
School: Everything for the MFA is in. I don't care whether or not I get an assistantship, just as long as I can get back into classes. I miss them miserably.
Rivermist Trilogy (if I can even call it that anymore) So far I've completed part 1: Dith-Seta (needs a name) and 2: Starsong, which comprise the first book, and sent it off. I don't feel as though it will be published, but I also don't feel as though it won't be, either. It'll be up to me to get it out in the world for the most people to read. Yeah, probably just on the webs. Cool with me.
Part 3: Starborn, has been reworked since I rewrote it yet again, but could use some expansion, especially if it's going to be separate from the first two and in its own book. I intended for it to be with 1 & 2, but all three run 140,000+ words, which is pretty long for any publisher to care to publish.
Then there's part 4, which is set now (well, 2012) on Earth. I've been intending to just have it on a website and not bother trying to get it published, buuuut if I get accepted into the MFA, I might use it as my thesis, because it stands alone and is in a different style than the others. Caida speaks in first person and I have a bunch of auxillary material, such as her journals and drawings and the other character's journal. If it becomes my thesis, I think I'll still be able to put it up online if I so chose. A lot of my philosophical/spiritual understandings and beliefs have gotten absorbed into the storyline, and it was really cool to write about her awakening to her nature at the same time that I was realizing that it really was true for me (duh).
Part 5: Raystar is what I'm currently working on, although Part 7: Rebirth was also getting rewritten not so long ago. Part 6: Godsea will be a continuation of Raystar, so they'll be written together. It's weird how many out of time scenes I've written for Raystar. Usually it's all chronological, but there was emotionally charged music that helped bring them out. I loves ma characters, and it's neat to see how they change from one life to the next. Seriously, I didn't know my main character was going to do what he did this time around, but I'm glad he did, because it feels like a new story, even though I know what happens and how it ends. I don't know how he experiences the events, and that makes all the difference.
Work: It goes. People left, some returned, many wish to leave. I like the group of folks populating the grocery departments. I don't want to work elsewhere in the store. I'd like to leave there, but at the same time, I don't know what else to do in this town.
Reading: I haven't read a thing in like... a month. The last things I checked out of the library were episodes of Star Trek. I can't write and read in the same day. If I read soneone else's writing, I just want to write my own.
