I’m getting rather obsessed with the AbsoluteWrite Water Cooler forums…I should be writing but instead I’m hanging out there…it’s troubling haha but I’ve learned a lot from listening and reading and participating. First, I can generally hold my own in a debate about politics (at least, international politics). Second, there are some damn good writers in this world even if they get rejected every time. Third, I don’t think I’m going to query haha. I’m enjoying writing though…
A week ago, or so, I thought about writing a prologue with Cale’s father in it…essentially explaining the beginnings of the Eighth Sea legend and how the map was made. I started to write it…I wrote like 200 words…and realized that this was an entirely different “voice” and that it wouldn’t match the rest of The Eighth Sea.
So I separated it. I put this with the legend that I wanted to write awhile ago called The Daughter of Madness. I’m writing the beginning of the Eighth Sea legend, how myths began, the capturing of mortal minds, and a private war between the chief god and the chief goddess. It’s a little dark, a little comical, and a lot of fun to write.
