Really, I was right here. I just skipped the last few days of Camp April and didn't come back until now because of finishing up school, speaking at graduation, prepping for college courses, and setting up work schedules.
So I'm back for a moment.
In order of the title...
Albums. Music albums, that is. I realized that lately I've been putting together playlists for novels, and most of them consist of songs from the same albums. (For instance, my gritty sci-fi is using 'Meteora' from Linkin Park, and my high fantasy (although it's really low fantasy) novel is using both 'The Heart of Everything' and 'The Unforgiving' from Within Temptation).
And it makes sense. I realized that keeping the same style songs inspires the same style scenes in a single style book. I mean, really. The almost too-heavy guitar from Linkin Park coupled with the singer's occasional screaming makes for some epic fight scenes - but some slower songs and instrumentals also mean I can do in-between segments as well.
Which isn't to say that's all I listen to. In the same playlist for the sci-fi novel I also have some music from Inception, and a couple other random instrumentals from here and there.
But it still makes sense.
So anyhoo.
Camp NaNo July. EEEEEEEEE! This makes me happy. I have been planning this (technically) since March, which is when the villain made his first appearance in my mind. Since then he's become the novel's own motive, its main theme, and has been drawn way more times than any other villain I've done. I have yet to write him in something canon, but srsly. Srsly giys.
It's taking place (surprise) in Kingdom Forever, my epic kingdom of fantasy-ness. The book's name is 'Eden', it's the fourth in the series, and that's all I'm telling you.
Lol.
Ahem.
So.... I'm going to be at work most of the summer (I'm a camp service staff team leader/program assistant) so I won't be around much until late August/September.
UNTIL THEN. TOOTLEOO.
