let's not fester

Reading my recent posts, you may be wondering "aren't you supposed to be writing a book?" And I am writing a book, though not in any discernible way. I'm in the percolating stage. The word "festering" came to mind, but that has bad connotations (unless you're referring to Uncle Fester, which would be fine). So lets go with stewing. I'm letting things stew. I'm thinking about my draft and taking notes and questioning things that I hadn't dared to question before. I'm planning what to cut and what to add, though all of this is theoretical at the moment. I'll sit down and get to work on an outline soon, but for now I need to stew and take in as much as I can: books and graphic novels and history and music and movies. Maybe a trip to an art museum. All in the name of progress.

That said, back to my graphic novel obsession! I just read HEXED by Michael Alan Nelson (Author), Cris Peter (Illustrator) and Emma Rios (Illustrator). Lucifer is a tough girl with a dark past; a thief of dangerous, magical objects. I'm looking forward to reading more of this – perhaps it will distract me as I wait for the first volume of Buffy: Season 9.
