I'm back, thanks to a client called Semagic.
While I've been a faithful reader, I feal I haven't been as faithful a poster. I will rectify this.
What's been going on? Well, a lot of work, some writing and reading and such. I've written a movie script through script frenzy, which was totally cool because it allowed me to go outside my comfort zones as a writer. Now, it's not that great, but I feel like it's something I can continue to work on and learn from. I've handled rejection pretty well this year too, but it's all part of the process. I will say that there's a freelancing opportunity that I really want to partake in, just have to clear some time to do some decent articles...
Just past midnight, I hope to start writing my supernatural story "The Last" about a young woman who finds she's the last mermaid. It doesn't have any romantic undertones right now, and the genre is really strange for me to write--I've never written Supernatural before, but we'll see. I made a little plot map about an hour ago and we'll see where that takes me. I think I have enough to go into another story, if need be... Okay, she really ISN'T the last mer-person, but she is the last girl, and she doesn't know it because she lives in a desert and she's never been in salt water (yes, I'm going with the Splash-type you have to be in salt water in order to become a mermaid thing).
I'm trying a new genre because I didn't really know what to do this year, and apparently I've persuaded people to do it, so the only thing I can do is go ahead and participate, right? Actually, I don't know what I'd do in November without NaNo. I'm trying to take more risks and not being so critical of myself--which is, in itself, difficult for me, but it's causing me to learn so much about myself.
Anywho, I want to thank everyone for writing and keeping me up to date with what's going on in your neck of the woods. It's greatly appreciated. Look for more things to come!
