On the Verge of WCATY, from a Different Angle

So, once more unto the breach, except this time I'm working, at least nominally. Doing grunt work, more likely than not, oh well.

Mm, don't have much to write about, I suppose...Let's see, I finished The Creation of Chastity Damnation, and am working on Islands, now--another lovely Catholic story. Well, I think it's Catholic, Christian certainly...In that vein, I've been working on reading the Bible by book alphabetically. I also snagged a copy of the Qur'an, might need to expand outside of the middle east eventually, but that may take some time.

I've made an effort to read A Prayer for Owen Meany, but it's like trying to read Dickens, so I've given that up in favor of Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami, which is far more interesting.

Don't know how I feel about this whole Catholic writing binge, but it's interesting...things keep getting longer and longer, which is a tad annoying. Islands should be fun, if I can get it done in under 30 pages or so, but that may not actually happen... As for Amos and The End...that's going to kick my ass. Awfully.

Hi, My Name Is/Hi, My Name Is//

So I've been gone for a while. In the interim a few things have happened:

- I started listening to Eminem again. A lot.
- I relapsed into Pokémon addiction.
- I relapsed into certain "emotional states". Oops.
- I realized I'm not disciplined enough to write anything longer than a longish short story.
- I stopped talking to my friends. Oops x10
- I started talking to other friends.
- I created an alter ego, lurking somewhere out there on teh internets. Good luck finding it.
- I realized that I'm an extremist after a fashion.
- I started reading The Economist.
- I stopped reading TIME.
- I realized how fertile Catholicism really is as a field of literary exploitation and subjugation.

Okay, so I don't even know how long it's been since I've been back here...oh well.

So the current writing projects are twofold:
- The Creation of Chastity Damnation: a story about a girl who isn't quite as crazy as her dad.
- Islands: a story about a lot of Catholics on an island (shocking!) after a minor rebellion. Lots of blood. Lots of angst (legitimate, though). And there are crosses (so blood goes with the territory, I suppose...)!
More on those when I actually get done writing them. Which is what I would be doing now if I weren't avoiding it...
