As I mentioned earlier, I’m doing NanoWriMo the year. My novel is going to involve vampires. I just read the Twilight Saga this summer. Whatever I do write, my main character isn’t going to be an annoying no-personality blob.
During September I’m going to be doing vampire research. This will also eventually go on my dark-creatures.com website (not up yet). I own at least 4 vampire “non-fiction” books already. I have a show on vampires saved on the DVR (along with Bram Stoker’s Dracula). And I took The New Annotated Dracula
I’ve been “into” vampires since before it was trendy. I remember when I was in 11th grade, sitting in the lunch room reading a book on vampires I had bought (the only book on vampires the store had). The girls I was sitting with probably thought I was quite weird.
During October, I’ll be outlining my novel. I didn’t do this last time and it may be a part of why I gave up after a week. And possibly doing more vampire research on TV, as it is Halloween month.
). I put it off because I’m always hesitant about reading author’s I’ve never read before (this is partly why I reread all my books 20 million times). It has plenty of the things I like: magic, vampires, faery creatures, other unhuman beings, sarcastic humor, and a tall dark-haired man. So once I finally started reading them a few weeks ago, I loved them. I’ve been plowing through them. There’s currently 12 out in the series and I’m on number 8.
