Day 10: Music and a Video (and not dead yet)

I haven't fallen off the planet yet, I promise. I've been behind, as I'm sure you've noticed by my word count, but I'm working on it. Tonight, I've been listening to music. Articology, mostly. Then someone from the ML chat room (Thanks, Aquadeo) linked me to this beautiful video. I wanted to share it with you, because I found it soothing and inspiring at the same time.

I've skipped ahead a bit in my novel, since the part I was in was dragging, and it's moving smoothly again. In spite of myself, I think there's a romance blooming between Senator Eric Nathan Mason (yes, that's his full name, and I don't know why I know that, only that I do. I usually don't bother with middle names). I didn't want there to be a romance - while the merfolk society is bisexual, I didn't want that to be even of peripheral importance. I sense a possible love triangle here. ITt seems that the relationships will be more important than I meant them to be.

I'm pleased, though, it means the characters are coming alive, moreso than they have been previously. The week two slump may yet be defeated before the week is over. :)

Yeah, took me a while to get the idea that I didn't have to write in a linear fashion. That indeed I was allowed to 'do side stories'. :)

Somehow this has been the 2nd time I've come around to your website. Not sure how I made it here the first time... but now I'm here again.

I really like your story idea. Would love to read it when you are finished.

Also, I like the video, it is rather soothing... and mesmerizing. Thanks!

Spatial (from nano<-- that is how I came to your website this time and probably the first time.)
