Hey there kiddos. A three month hiatus isn't too much is it? *grin* I hope not.
Excuses I have aplenty... mostly involving karma trying to kick my ass. Three major emotional upsets for the year is enough, no? I know I mentioned the first here... the loss of Moof. Well since then I have also lost Dozer to pneumonia and found out the company I work for is being dissolved. 'Retired' is the word our parent company used. Same diff. As of today I don't know if I will be moved somewhere else under the parent company or be given notice. That decision could take anywhere from two weeks to twelve months on top of what we've already spent in limbo since the announcement. Honestly, I don't know which decision I want to hear. So I've been getting my ducks in a row either way and we'll see where the pieces fall.
A lot of people say stress like this is inspiration to write. I've often been one of those people but 2010 has just been too much. I'm either crying, hiding from myself, or if I can write it's only in my journal. No one else sees that... sorry folks but it would either scare or hurt most of you.
The other day when I was at work with nothing to work on I started sketching out idea of a possible new story. It's more of a 'high fantasy' with a little romance spin. At this point I would call it light fluffiness. We'll see where that one goes. Could become a story or it could get added to the pile of ideas that are moldering in a computer file. That is not the idea that might bring me out of hiatus.
Q might bring me out of hiatus. I don't know much about him yet. Freaky scary dreams last night finally resolved into a very vivid set of scenes. Q never showed his face... or his voice for that matter... but he was the mastermind behind what was in my head. So today I am exploring this person. I know he's male. That alone is unusual for me... I usually start with the female lead. I know he was raised by someone not his parents. In fact, his birth mother is afraid of him. His birth father is aloof and proud, possibly using Q. Dunno yet. But somehow Q found his mysteriously disappearing mother and his half sister. How? Why? What made Mom run in the first place? All questions I'm trying to figure out. He's not the most talkative sort so it's been an interesting day of it. But it is writing and it has gotten my head out of the 'real world' for a while.
What more could I ask for at this point?
