I hate this. I have all these stories, all these words pent up inside me and I can't seem to make them come out. Not as I'd like, and if they won't come out the way I want, then my brain seems to say "I won't write any of you, so THERE!"
I think I've finally decided I need to completely rework the beginning of The Hakkan. I was going to start it before the events of "The Kahbid-Dai," and things were going to catch up with the story, and then proceed onward from there. I think, though, that I need to just give up and start AFTER "The Kahbid-Dai." I can insert more flashbacks to explain how they met, if I really feel the need. I am going to miss the scene of Joshua being kept in an old department store display window as a cage, though. I thought that a rather ingenious piece of storytelling, if I may say so myself.
As for Shy'a Spell, I think I've finally come up with a better series of titles for those books. I really love the title for the second book, The Veiled Throne, so I've created titles that fall along the same lines. I believe Shy'a Spell--and everyone who knows anything about this book knows I've always hated that title but couldn't think of anything else--is going to become The Desert Throne. To Walk the Shadows will become The Shadow Throne, or perhaps The Shadowed Throne.
WARS is something I really, really think I need someone to talk to about. It just isn't coming together in the manner I invision it, and it isn't worth it if it doesn't have the atmosphere it does in my head. This one has a purpose, but it has to be as close to perfect as possible in order to achieve its full potential.
Draka and everything else on my list are way on the back burner. These are the most important projects to me right now.
I've been thinking of trying to write some fanfiction (which I haven't done in a long, LONG time) in order to loosen up my writing muscles. I don't really want to work on Mended Wing or Ames Qui Dorment because I don't want to raise people's hopes that either might be finished soon. I've got a vague idea of a GW oneshot set in the Wayward universe, before the end. YAY SHINIGAMI DUO!
Okay. I'm done. Gotta potty.
