So I haven't actually written anything yet. I know I feel like a failure on the one hand. Yet on the other hand I have developed my world to such an extent that it is such a rich and vibrant place that if I somehow could I would transport myself there and move there and never look back. Vampires, werewolves, demons, ghosts and flesh eating monsters that lurk in the shadows and all! However I have also outlined many possible scenes that will probably appear in the book I am "working" on as well as a scene or two set in the same fictitious universe.
I have also taken to writing down every scrap of idea for stories, plots and possible book themes that come to me at every random moment of the day or night. Many of these ideas occur in my convoluted universe and as such have given me much mental fodder for a possible series of books. Others however are completely different and as such have led me down a path that I have never considered before. I now have 2 Works In Progress. My Original WIP that I am struggling to figure at least the rough outline from Point A to Point B and a completely new WIP set in the same universe that at least in my mind I can clearly see the path from start to finish.
The only problem with WIP2 is that while I can see it in its near entirety I do not find it as tantalizing as the original WIP that has dead-ended. However that may just be me being stubborn. Perhaps I should just begin to write them both in concert and let what happens happen. Who knows maybe WIP1 will not work out and WIP2 will be the book people will want to read. I guess only time will tell.

No More Pie
Thats right no more goofy ass Pie symbol!
It's my blog and I'll change the rules if I want to. Anyways of late I have been hanging out on sffchronicles as I have been devoting more of my time and mental resources to writing. I have decided that school and family aside my one and only focus in life is to finish and publish at least one book. As such I introduce to you the working title of my current Work In Progress and the Written Universe I have been authoring. Granted these names are subject to change over the course of time, especially when finished and by some divine grace published, though until such a time I present to you. . .
The WIP Series Title: True Sight
A Modern/Contemporary Fantasy World analog to our own. While many things are the same the world diverged at a couple of points in the 1920s and 1950s resulting in a world where the Supernatural walks openly side by side in an uneasy and often violently conflicted armistice.
The WIP Book 1 Title: Fires of Creation
Yeah not going to tell you anything about this just yet. If someone is actually reading this Blog well its much more fun to keep you waiting!
Title Character: Cassandra O'Connor (A.K.A. Cassie)
A young college freshmen of impeccable breeding who just happens to have a few dark secrets. Will she be able to deal with her own deep conflicted past and being suddenly thrust into the darkest depths of a supernatural power struggle? A power struggle that spans the width and breadth of time itself and involves the entire planet and more than one preternatural species.
I will say this though, despite the WIP's main character and many of it's inherent themes my work is definitely not aimed at the Youth market. While I have read a few of the "YA" books out today and I do enjoy these books and have nothing but respect for the genre I feel that it would restrict me. I plan to write for the more adult crowd and while I do not think I am in anyway going to produce the next great Fantasy Epic I do have high hopes for my work. I at least believe that my works will be published and hope that someone will some day enjoy it.
