Author In Progress
Drew:
The Dresden setting. Most people are oblivious to things around them and would be able to relate more.
ailishsmom:
I like both for different reasons. Although I prefer Kim Harrison and Simon Green's worlds over LKH.
I think if I HAD to make a choice it would be the 'out in the open' settings. I like seeing how authors make the paranormal act normal.
Paranoid Wizard:
I never know how to describe the book I'm writing, it's my downfall. Honestly, if it gets published, I'll have to pay someone else to do the summaries for me because for some reason, I have a mental block on them.
Anyway. I suppose, if I had to summarize, I would say this; the novel is about two teenage girls who are, essentially, witches. Through their craft, they contact a vampire, who, in turn, more or less kidnaps them. He takes them in the middle of the night, and when they wake up, they're in an elaborate room, completely with miniature chandelier and scaling windows. Of course, the fact that the room is comfortable doesn't change the fact that they're in a rather sticky situation.
As the story continues the reader is introduced to a myriad of different vampires, each having their own unique personality, powers, and motivations. This novel is a love story, a mystery, a fantasy epic detailing a private war amongst vampires and humans alike. Factor in plot twists, and hidden agendas, and eventually you'll see everything as it is meant to be seen.
... And, damn. That really doesn't sound as good as I'd like it to.
Anyway. Currently, it's at about 70 pages. I send it to a published writer, Michael Koryta. He's my, mentor, of sorts, and he's helping me along with it. Personally, I think it's going along rather well. Maybe it will be on the shelves some day soon!
Mycol:
No books in Progress, something like 30 Short Stories on my COmputer and at least 3 or 4 notebooks at home on a book shelf of horrible hand written stuff. Including a few written in teh Field in my Army Days ^^
One day I might have to sit down and jsut write a book. ^^
Paranoid Wizard:
It sounds like you have a lot of writing experience though. Maybe you should sit down and write a book sometime.
