Got It

I don't know if this is smart or not, but I'll find out soon enough, I guess.

I've decided to start another novel. Gav's busy enough illustrating the Quartet of Crime one-shot I already wrote without my adding to his pile with more stories, and I can't see anyone else drawing a QoC story but him. So I went through some old outlines and found one for a murder mystery in a fantasy setting.

I don't have any interest in writing in the Fantasy genre, incorporating all the formulas and cliches that go along with that, but I like the idea of creating a world in which anything is possible. It's very research-free and that's something I need as I work through the pretty dry memoirs of a famous sea captain.

So, this book that I'm starting isn't a Fantasy Book, but a Mystery Book, only with Elves and stuff. 'Cause I like Elves. It's just to keep me writing while I'm stalled on Blades and I plan to drop it when I'm able to get back to the pirates. Then maybe after that I can finish up and solve the Elf Murder. Or write more pirates. I'm not planning that far ahead.

Anyway, I wrote one page tonight on the Elf Murder and it's off to a good start. So, yay.
