TOPIC: GETTING BACK ON THE HORSE
Yeah. It sucks.
Being set back from your goals.
But I am not going to let these problems hinder me from delivering one kick-ass novel.
The Starchild will be published--whether I have something to say about it or not.
So, to get things going again, I have begun Chapter 5 of The Vampiress Hunter. (If I can only stop from hitting the G-key every time I try to spell the last part of the title...? Sigh...)
Anyway, some deviations from the norm about vampires so far:
- Maria likes cats and has one of her own. His name is Sebastian. And he's a bug-eater extraordinaire
- She watches TV.
- She also eats. What, I'll have to invent. (If she likes chocolate--then she likes other things--right? Does this make her a true vampire? I dunno. Quite frankly, I enjoy bending the classic genres and breaking them a little. Gives people something new to look forward to.) But it's not moshing on blood packets--like they show in the movies, shows, and whatnot.
More in a bit.
