Writerly realizations, cont'd

[stillsostrange]

Whilst in conversation with jmeadows, cristalia and tanaise, I realized that the book I really want to write before I die is another A Night in the Lonesome October.

jmeadows also challenged me to write something involving vampires, magic portals, and talking cats, so I guess I'll have to do it one of these days.

It will also need a labyrinth, and a minotaur, and probably a spunky orphan. And rats. And anything else cool I can think of.

...the book I really want to write before I die is another A Night in the Lonesome October.

I think that's a perfectly wonderful goal. I re-read that one every October, without fail.

Please don't give your rats naked tails. Rats have hairy tails. And most rat tails that are not on white rats are also not pink. /pet peeve.

Don't worry. If I have rats, I'll get to know some real rats first.

You have to have a plucky sidekick! It's a law!

Well, I would read another Night in the Lonesome October (in case you need anyone else to be a bad influence on you).
