On a more topical note, I've been stumped recently; whether or not that is merely a question of laziness, I'm not sure. I've had a hard time recently being able to devote time to my writing. Oddly enough, I do most of my writing at work when I've got spare time, and lately its been unusually chaotic at work, not that that is an excuse, but a trend I've noticed.
But this is the first time I've spoken about my novel, so I'll give some background on it. Spurring from my adoration of Mythology, I'm beginning to craft a fantasy novel based on Norse mythos. Though surrounded in fantasy, it is also a type of sci-fi. It has to deal with immortality and the shackles it holds, as well as the mindset of someone who has seen near the entire life span of human society. It delves into the Gods themselves, their reign and fall, and the new Gods born from the ashes. Equally, it eventually has to do with the mechanics of the universe and how one's horizon grows as they reach new levels of consciouseness; how someone created by a God can somehow surpass even their Creator.
There are really so many themes... and so hard to articulate consicely. Once I finish the first three chapters and get the piece in the works of being copyrighted, I will start posting segments here and breaking them into pieces to explain. For now though, I ask that you bare with me and its infancy. I'm nearly three-fourths done with the first chapter, and once I knuckle down again, I don't suppose it will take much longer.

This blog is a journal, a journal of thought and journey; one that will bring my internal musings to life and inevitably generate a novel, or three. It is here that I will attempt to create a place for myself to write and others to convey their feelings on such, as well as a place for other writers to look for help, or to help.
