I have started The Wanderers

Don't expect anything from me for a while. Short stories will not be on my priorities list.

  • Mood: Relief

I'm 18 today.
I turned 18 two days ago. But I'm still 18 today. That won't change for another three hundred and sixty three days, at which point I should update it to avoid inaccuracies. Note that this will only be if I am still alive by that point, of course. Nothing is certain.
I am a writer.
As a writer, my job is to, well...write. Except it's not much of a job, more of an art really. Because if it was a job the world wouldn't keep begging me to put it on hold. If it was a job I'd be making money for it. (which I doubt I ever will)
Most importantly, if it was a job: people wouldn't find my writing as appealing.
This is all you will hear about, me as a writer, and not me as a person. I am here as a writer, I am not here as a person. Actually, I am perhaps too much here as a person, as the personal information in some of my journal entries may suggest. But oh well, I'm making up for lost time.
I mostly write fantasy stories. But fantasy with purpose. I see the market for people who play D&D and turn their campaigns into novels, and I see the appeal of it. It's not for me. My ideas are more the type that are designed to not leave Tolkien rolling in his grave and give high fives to dungeon masters.
Of course, fantasy is not all there is, and there's quite a bit more to go around. I eventually hope to have written something in every genre. From comedy to tragedy to horror, and maybe even horribly defiled sub-genres, such as "vampire" or "dragon" stories, in an attempt to give them their first good novel in a few dozen years.
Now, if you'll do me a favor and read some of my rough, unedited yarn. I'm sure you can scratch some use out of it. After all, the writer just comes up with the story. The reader is the one who makes it true.
Good night and Good day. (For those of you who live in Los Angeles AND for those of you who live in London)

The chickens have come home to roost, Aqua. It is time for us to accelerate our plans. The Council is becoming...querulous.

Tell them they can become either more querulous or less querulous in the future, depending on my current mood. We must be more subtle than roasting these chickens, and frying them is simply out of the question. The matter of baking has crossed my mind once or twice, but I don't know what the full consequences of such an action would be.

Indeed. Though I did hear, and this could be untrue, that baking these chickens could result in an unfavorable outcome, roughly along the lines of a crater the size of Ireland. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we must press on and be vigilant. Even if it means baking those chickens.

I knew we should have counted them before they hatched. If we hadn't counted them before they hatched, this wouldn't have been a problem, but NO, Ahstmed HAD to insist on it.

Now that you've left, I see sides of myself I wish I kept around rather than throw them away for you.
