Official Diagnosis

Vexin Hypergraphia exacerbated by severe MSD (Multiple Story Disorder) with accompanying Sequel Syndrome. Shows signs of AADD (Author Attention Deficit Disorder). Currently on low-dose Jarador to control vocal outbursts and nervous ticking of the hands.

(This is what my brain does. Send help.)

Anyway. Time for random information about characters you currently don't care about.

I think I figured out why I love Carmen so much: He's a gorgeous, anti-social, bisexual, gender-variant assassin hacker. (Understand that there is no part of this sentence that I don't like.) Of course that 'ethical hacker' side of him results in me having to research hacking (which I still believe should just be called 'hacking' across the board) and that's making me nervous because he can at times cross over into 'hacktivist' territory.

In other news, I'm sitting here with a headache and a new piece of the plot for a new book. It makes my heart hurt and makes me want to cry to think about it so it's probably worth writing in.

Suffice it to say it contains a scene where the older-by-probably-at-least-four-years protagonist gets to look back at his best friend and, nearly crying, ask 'You were born after me... so why did you have to grow up before I did?'

(Knowing the context for the above, I am somewhat of a mess just from that.)

Anyway... I'm using that as a transition too much and I should probably try to do something that doesn't make me want to curl up in a dark room and cry for a while.

See ya~

Oh, What a Tangled Web We Weave.

That has nothing to do with this post; I just thought it sounded cool.

But anyway... The first three chapters of what I just call The Book are with a beta reader currently and I'm just waiting to be told what to fix, basically.

Lithium has been stuck in my head all day. Mainly because it's become the song I associate with Cityside (the short story) for some reason. Also, I realised something: Actual strangulation with intent to kill is really difficult to write well when one party is drugged and the other is insanely calm and kind of lovey about the whole thing. I’m also a tad concerned that problems like this are normal for me…

There's a research-heavy project that's been running in my brain. It's nothing much, just a novella series (currently titled 'The City of Dis'). It's meant to take place in most major cities around the country and to some degree around the world (just not all at once, obviously), following a musician and lower-level demon. And no, I don't know what to do with my brain at times.

So, right now, I'm listening to Tiger and Bunny character songs (and kind of in shock because OMG this song) and trying to make myself work. That's going about as well as can be expected.

Oh, well... Onward to mediocrity!

Writing Related Crap

So...

Have you ever written something because of reasons because you can and then you realise that you don't typically write things like that and then you're weirded out and a little proud of yourself that you managed to do something decently even though it was out of your comfort zone?

Me neither. *awkward laugh*

No, really, that happened. Well, kind of since it's only part of a scene right now and I'm trying not to think too much about it while I'm typing - In fact I'm trying not to think too much about it in general, partially since it's not even in the project I'm meant to be working on.

Well.

Anyway.

I'm considering adding pages to this thing, making it a little more like a website. I'll still keep the informal blog, of course, so I can ramble at you guys but I'm not too sure what to do. I mean, if I had interviews and things like that then I could have a place for them but I don't. So... yeah.

Anyway, you might have noticed the blog title change (which really doesn't effect anything at all) and if you haven't, please to be noticing it now. *points*

In other news, this was really just a random update that I was hoping would help me get capital-s Something done. That plan has only marginally worked as I now want to do ALL THE THINGS! and it's really annoying me.

I think I'm going to go and try to get something constructive done, so if there are any changes to the blog in the next few hours or days, it's just me screwing around.

So, bye for now, guys. Bye for now~
