Still Alive

I'm intimidated still.

I know that I'm the only person who really knows this blog exists and I shouldn't intimidate myself by posting to it, but I've been avoiding it for that very reason. Mostly I use this account to reply to others blogs. Others blogs who are vastly more popular and wide-read than mine (I have no idea why my one post blog would be wide-read but let's go with it.)

So, what's pushing me over that frightening edge to actually write in the scary blogspot?

I'm procrastinating.

I believe I mentioned before that I'm working on a novel. Technically, I'm working on two novels. One of them is my project (which I am procrastinating on) and the other is a co-authorship with my best friend. That one is getting a lot closer to being done, we're getting to all of that exciting climax stuff! We've also been writing it for a year now. Mine, on the other hand is no where near that exciting climax stuff. In fact, I'm not even positive what it will be (I do have an idea though!)

Fireproof, the joint project, is a Steampunk Fantasy that is planned to span three novels, following the two leaders of a rebellion as they attempt to save their world from Ultimate Steampowered Destruction. The first of the three (which is what we're on now) finds the two MCs attempting to time-travel and ending up in a different reality altogether, they are having to fight their way through this new (peaceful) world to find each other (and themselves) and get back before it's too late.

In the Absense of Embers, my single project, I am writing for 70 Days of Sweat and all in all, it's going well. I'm just over 8,000 words with 10,00 being my goal by Sunday. I'm really enjoying the story, even though I don't have much of a plan. Book summary:

When Alexendra is flung from her father's airship she doesn't expect to live much less discover just how colorful her life could become. But her journey to Shores Academy with a fellow student and outcast (who just happened to save her life) will prove to be more teaching than an entire semester could ever manage as Alexendra learns the faults in life-long prejudices, but also begins to discover the nefarious plot against her father which threatens her own life as well.

I don't know that I feel either of them are particularly clever or original plots, but I think that the stories are still very good and I certianly love them myself.

Okay. That's enough procrastinating for me. Thanks for listening.
