Miscellany No. 3: When We Cannot Write, We Read

[scribblemyname]

On the Oddness of Being Sick and Being Well and Incoherency
Or the tale of what I'm writing, what I'm not, and why.

So it all started out with this grand hunt for the fanart I love, per a reader request, to add to the website. But that gets tricky. Permissions, links, choosing...

But it was quite enough to derail my writerly inspiration until I got sick (very). When I was sick, the stories got pretty twisted up in my head, so I didn't write as much at all.

Today, I'm feeling better and finally writing. I wanted to write everything all at once (Carnal, Whisper, Going Omega, etc.), but finally settled on The Way of the Rogue. I'm actually almost done with the chapter, but I'm running into too little information on Archie Corrigan, a character that would be perfectly useful if I thought I could write him decently. Which I obviously did. Last chapter. Right.

Have I mentioned recently, I'm a little nuts?

On the Rapid and Cheerful Digestion of Large Tomes
Or my reading binge while I was under the weather.

So, somebody, I forget who, was favoriting one of my stories, and their review intrigued me, so I went and visited their profile and discovered this gem in their favorites. Being a huge Roswell fan myself, I fell head over heels in love with Unknown and The Offer. Now, that I've read all whopping huge 400,000+ words of them, I'm stuck in agonizing waiting for an update. But these are gorgeous!

Yes, I'm big on English. Yes, English is clearly the writer's second language. No, it doesn't actually break up the reader's enjoyment at all. The characters and stories are so well drawn, I don't even care that there are original characters. Every word pulls weight.

Love.
