.....maybe I'm ill :) Well ok, I'm not ill, I'm just sat on the couch waiting for Al to wake up so we can go get something to eat. I'm STARVING. Still, we might go somewhere nice :)
So what am I blathering on about? Nothing really, just all these thoughts in my head and I need to spill them out somewhere. Aren't ye lucky to have chanced across this page? I have an idea for a story and I want to write it out but I think it might do for an assignment that's due over Christmas. I'm just not sure if the genre is course-friendly. Do tutors like vampires? Who knows. I mean this tutor liked my first efforts enough to award an 85 but that was pretty straight forward, autobiographical type stuff. That was easy. This is pure fantasy - in all senses of the world. But it is a tale itching to be told.
I think I'll write it then worry about the assignment afterwards. I can always bring up another story for an assignment. There's always time for another story right? Can vampires be mainstream? I mean Anne Rice, Laurrell K Hamilton, and all those others don't really have a narrow reading audience, do they? Bram Stoker is recognised as one of the great classics. So vampires can be classic as well as modern. Or would it be better to hint at the vampirism and not let it get in the way of a good story? Is a story still as good without the twist a vampire could add?
Bloody brain - life would be so much simpler if I didn't overthink things!!!
Right, I'm off to write this thing and worry bout everything else later!
