Too Much Plot

D'OH!


I was in a pretty foul mood yesterday in part because I figured out what's wrong with Argentum, the novel I'm working on. It's too complicated. Seriously. The layers of mystery, symbolism, characterization, and setting caused this first book to read like a Dickens novel on steroids. It is five books crammed into one and I know why I did it. Because I was afraid that I'd only write the first book and then WHAM! that'd be it. End of discussion. Move on to something else. Abandon this child. Stabby Stabby.


Sigh. You get the point.


Ah, well. Time to get crackin' and unravel these plots. Goals aren't going to achieve themselves! Also, caffeine withdrawal suuuuuuuuccckkkkssss…
