Writing something new for the first time in years

Very very exciting. I'm not "a writer", by which I mean I'm not interested in doing it for a living because my brain doesn't always feel like working when it comes to words and it would be super uncomfortable and unsteady to have to rely on something that's dysfunctional. I go through months or years at a time where I can't write anything, not because of writer's block exactly but just because the urge isn't really there.

When the urge is there though... STOP THE WORLD. I HAVE THINGS TO SAY.

Not sure if anybody's even going to care :P but it's taking over my life so hopefully it'll be worth it. Stay tuned!

Working title: Captured Shadows

I don't know, it'll probably change. I hate titling stuff, it takes longer than the writing! I like having a name for it though, it sort of makes it official so I can't wriggle out of finishing it if it starts to get difficult. (It's "My Sweet Prints" in my head because John said it and made me laugh :P but it's probably best not to use a cheesy pun for a dirty dramatic historical romance, right?)

How deeply has this damn thing has rooted itself in my brain? I'm skiving off my cousin's birthday party tomorrow night so I can work on it.

Better make sure it's not shit now after talking it up like this...

Trojan Project, take 2

So apparently Wordpress images aren't pulling through properly to Goodreads. Distressing news. This beautiful thick salty sausage needs some love.

The Trojan Project by John T. Fuller & Richard Rider

Short story collaboration on its way!





(P.S. I blame John.)
