A few things:
1- Offline friends? Where are you? Please write in your journals.
2- I want to write and write and write but words will NOT come. Instead, I have come up a short Merlin drabble which I may or may not choose to finish. Later.
3- I don't know if anyone cares, but I started writing more String Theory, and now I want to re-work the entire concept, and then once I've re-written chapters One and Two and Three, I will perhaps consider finishing it. As things stand, though, I find that my characters are too young, emotionally, and don't know enough of the world. I'm going to shift the story forward a year and a bit, and change the setting/location. I want there to be slightly more complications and a stronger female presence in the story. Does anybody care? Anybody at all? I need a name for a female character. I need a personality for a female character. Someone interesting. Suggestions?
4- I have no idea if I'm even CAPABLE of writing something... good. And Original. In any case it occured to me a few weeks ago (the idea has been mulled over in my head) that the Jabberwocky universe I'd wanted to write, and the Playing To Win novel I wrote last November were really... very similar. As a matter of fact, I'm fairly certain that Playing to Win only exists as an extension of the Jabberwocky Universe I was so carefully trying to plan at the time. The problem with reconciling the two universes is that one takes place in something like a comic book, with superheroes and dastardly plans and honest-to-goodness villains, and the other takes place in the 'normal' world. I don't know if I can reconcile Connor and Haiku, and while the rest of the characters could fall into place nicely... I'm not sure I want to. I like the fact that Haiku has a scar and a strange name and some disturbing memories, I like that Connor is just like his father and has a disturbing lack of memories. Here's the question: I've written almost 120 000 words for Playing to Win, and only a few drabbles + a LOT of planning for Jabberwocky. Do I try and combine the two, perhaps taking Haiku's name/looks and Connor's personality, pulling enough from the comic book verse to make the novel believable? Or should I work the other way, take key moments of Haiku's adventures and transpose them to Connor? Do I want to turn original fiction into fan fiction, or fan fiction into original fiction? And will the characters lose themselves if I try? Is the sudden lack of violence going to be a problem? And more importantly... should Haiku still sleep in the bathtub?

( Oh, and this is the Merlin drabble I thought up... )
