Well, that’s says about all I was going to write in this post. Today, I began. I began writing ‘when the aliens left’ which I’ve changed working title to - Crater.

Almost immediately the characters began taking on a life of they’re own. (well, character… as I’ve only introduced one so far…) but already things are developing.

Please. No applause necessary… or heard.

But everything seems to be clicking into place for it.

Also, today… and yesterday for that matter (it’s been a fair pair of days.) Dr. Horrible came online. I enjoyed it… a couple of times. Doogie rocks as the twitchy Dr Horrible, (He has a Phd in horribleness) and Nathan Fillion is hilariously smug. Now I have to wait another two days for the last installment. DANG!!

Also yesterday, I finally got some books I ordered off amazon a couple of weeks ago. I got Steampunk, The anthology by Ann and Jeff Vandermeer. I came across steampunk not too long ago, maybe six months or so. I knew of the concept though, in fact I have plans of a novel from a year or two ago that would have been a little steampunk, but I didn’t realise till recently that it actually had a name and a great following. I had been deciding whether or not to get it since before it came out and finally have. It looks awesome.

I also got The Call of Cthulhu and other Weird Stories and At the Mountains of Madness By H.P. Lovecraft. I’ve been wanting to read Lovecraft for a long time now, and I’m glad I got these. I’ll be reading one of them straight after I finish The Martian Chronicles.

I have to say At the Mountains of Madness is a very aesthetically beautiful book. It’s got a feel like an already old book. It’s thin at around 200 Soft pages and a beautiful picture on a matte cover that just has that feeling on your fingertips that adds to the reading experience. Be Gone Glossies!

Exactly how I’d want my books to be published.

Maybe, one day, you’ll pick up a copy of Crater and say the same thing. Cross fingers.
