+ Summer vacation! Yessssss. My schedule is jam-packed. I've dedicated myself heartily to the goals of losing weight and writing more. I'm even reading more! I'm still reading up on the classic book recs. And Agatha Christie. hur hur this is so repetitive but if you have any fantastic just-for-fun book recs (Isaac Asmimov, for example) i-it'd be ( Read more... )

Oh man, I love Limyaael so fucking much! I've got this huge political civil war ASOIAF-style thing romping around in my head and her rants have proved invaluable in my quest to tame it. Someday I'll stop worldbuilding and actually write something. Someday.

Well, things have only really gotten solidified in my head recently, since I don't have much time during the school year to write/plan, but yep! I don't know what to say without vomiting family trees and things all over you but it's a multi-viewpoint, political fantasy thing that just keeps getting bigger and bigger and more out of control the more I try and think about it auuugh

In an attempt to be more coherant, it's -- in the beginning, at least -- based loosely off the War of the Austrian Succession and tells the story of a group of noble houses that get involved in a civil war, and the resulting ripple effect (other countries get sucked in), through the eyes of various members of the different factions.

Basically, it's me being way too much of a George R. R. Martin fangirl. It's still definitely in the works. And oh god, I could babble forever. A-and I haven't actually written anything yet. My sister says people should just hire me as "Professional Worldbuilder."

Well. Those fantasy rants do look interesting. I'd say there's goes my free time for today.
