Actually, I don’t know if you do it, but I do. That writing thing. The one where you spend all your free time making stuff up and trying to convince other people to believe it.
Yeah, that thing.
I’m at the point in the book where it’s all downhill from now on — tying things up, finishing threads, ending it. And that’s okay, it means I’m on track, that’s fine and all, but part of me is procrastinating because I know once I’m done with this project, heck, it’s just right on to another.
Another I don’t know, yet. A short story? A novella? That horror novel I’ve been thinking of? Something just for me, just for fun, something uncontracted? Could be. Or I could sell something in the mean time and have a new contract to fulfill. That would be okay, too, though it might mean I don’t write the horror novel.
I thought I’d never write a horror novel because I started out writing short horror and stuff, but I never wanted to tread on the King’s toes. I’m a huge Stephen King fan and consider him a mentor of sorts, though I’ve never met him or expect to. He’s a huge inspiration to me and a big part of the reason why I became a writer (though to be fair, if it hadn’t been him it would have been SOMEONE — I am a writer and will always be and would always have been.)
Anyway, I got this idea that I felt could really sustain a book and with quite a few novels under my belt I’m not afraid I can’t finish it. Whether it will be any good or not, I don’t know. Whether anyone will buy it or not, I don’t know. But I think I’d like to try.
Of course I have a lot of other projects running around in my head, too. Never fear running out of ideas, me.
And it’s THURSDAY!
Which…today means nothing really because the Winchesters are on hiatus (rest up Ackles and Padalecki and crew, rest up so you might bring me moremoremore Winchesters soon!) and I don’t begrudge them all their time off if that’s why there’s a hiatus, but oh, oh, the pain of not having a new Supernatural to watch! Thought I guess with my all day long SPN marathon yesterday I should be good for another few days.
