And now begins the time of waiting...

Waiting for the days to count down till the fiber-optic Internet service is installed, of course. I've got a lot of writing projects I'll be tackling during that time, including several MxO chat logs I've been meaninf to beat into story form... and a paranormal romance novel I've been toying with since I watched "Underworld" for the first time about two weeks ago (I know, I should post a review), when I was waiting for the last MxO update to patch. I've noticed there seems to be a trend toward these silly things these days (I'd blame Laurel K. Hamillton, but I've been reading her Merry Gentry series, which has become my chief literary guilty pleasure. I blame a certain fair damsel's reviews of them for getting me hooked on them :: Laughs at self, giggles at said fair damsel:: ), and I find it interesting. Of course they're usually vampires and werewolves or were-whatevers, but I saw one involving a mermaid, that looked intriguing.

I'll admit, I got the idea for the paranormal romance novel from a bit of RP going on in the MxO recently: Morraeon the reaper (Sieges's alter-ego) is a little different from her kin in that she has the capacity to love, to form attachments with other creatures, specifically Exiles and other AI-like beings, and she's been exploring this quirk of hers, which lead her into a somewhat ill-advised romance with a vampire named Vanil... but I was gently warned off of that plot by my good friend Anubis, since this guy, as good an RPer as he really is, tends to lean towards cybering, and he didn't want me getting into a tangle. But I came away with the germ of an idea for a novel. We'll see how I can adapt the situation and the universe so I can actually sell the book, and not just have it kicking around as the umpteenth fanfiction.
