Unicorns and Weirdos Three

This is a title I am definitely going to use for a story ASAP. It's just become a sort of, I don't want to say obsession, but definitely a burning desire to use. I dont think these blogs are doing the title justice, especially since the first one was such a ramble romble rimble.

But I do have plenty of stories in the pipeline, so for the few of you who are actually following my career, you might have something to look forward to.

The Goblin is coming along well. It is looking like it's going to be a nice 10k word story about an internet artist using his talents to escape the town that neglected him.

I also have a few more magical realism tales to tell. While my novels range a wide spectrum of genres I'm realizing my stories seem pretty centered on Magical Realism. They seem dead set on trying to rationalize the fantastic and normalize the supernatural/paranormal. They aren't stories about monsters--at least not exactly. More like how the world would interact if a monster was actually born in their city, a monster that wasnt trying to hurt them, but was just there and rejected for being different. I know this isn't a new narrative, Hell Frankenstein's Monster became what it was from the hatred of man not from his birth.

Though the editing of my manuscripts is moving more slowly than I would like, I hope these stories can bring as much joy to my readers as they do for me to write them; that is to say, writing is my true passion; no matter what else I do in life this will always be the thing I love most and I hope my writing can make you love this passion too. If that sounds funny I apologize, I wrote this post in six minutes and don't have time to edit because International Economics is about to start.

HAVE A GOOD DAY!

P.S.

Have you ever noticed how cashiers/check out clerks are always surprised when you respond to them saying "have a nice day"? I just said "I will," when the barista told me to and she looked at me like it was the first time anyone decided to follow her advice and be happy.
