Okay, so here I am...

...down in my drafty basement, where I have my writing nook.  It's down at the bottom of the stairs, and everything is within grabbing distance:  computer, reference books, Dew, snacks, tunage...what else could I ask for?

Oh...how about a little inspiration?  I've been kicking along on Chapter 4 of the new book (Bk 3 in a trilogy), and I'm having a hell of a time trying to make myself finish it.  Yeah, I know the old writing maxim, where if it doesn't feel right, don't go with it.

You know, I never liked writing maxims.  They only piss me off.  :)

Anyway.

I'm thinking that my problem is not flogging the metaphorical dead horse with this chapter, but the fact that I'm too tired to give it my full concentration.  Heh...this from a guy who wrote for two hours almost every single day after ten-hour days at work.

Feh.

Oh--btw, the reason I picked dragons below is because they play an important part--in a roundabout way--in said trilogy.  More on that later as well...

Hi, I'm a friend of a friend of head58 and found your LJ through him. Would it be okay if I added you to my friends list?

What's your trilogy on? (Other than dragons) :)

Go right ahead and add away. :)

Lessee...how to describe a trilogy in a few sentences...

A futuristic sf/fantasy mix about a spiritual war and the relationship between humans and their supposed alien ancestors...if that makes sense! :)
