You ever start something thinking, "Oh man, this is going to be so awesome!" only discover it REALLY isn't. I mean sure, my first novel idea for NaNoWriMo was cool, and creepy... but it was getting a little too creepy. It started to get to me a bit. I'm a bit of a character actor, and I use those same techniques when I'm writing to think like the characters in my book. Trying to get inside the mind of a cultist of Cthulu... that was freaking me out a bit. I could do it but not with how little time I have to finish this book (November 30th is the deadline). That is way to dark of a place for me to go right now for that long.
And so I start a new novel, being it is only the second day I think now is the time to change. Of course I'll save that other bit for a better time. For now I'm digging out the outline I did about a year ago for a book I'm excited I might finish. And don't worry kids, it ain't a happy trip down sunshine avenue. Its just a little less... insane?
