Alright, so I've been rather busy recently and yet I still find time to not get my work done, impressive, ne? I have, however, finished typing a short WIP introduction to one of my longer stories. This is actually a rewrite of an earlier story titled Magic For Dinner Guests and I've decided, for the moment, to keep that as my working title. It deals primarily with a young woman who is dragged into a fantasy world and must decide what person she wants to be. A very strong theme that I've been working with recently, namely independence and personal choice, that I feel is important, especially with young women today. It is a rough opening and it's not even a full chapter, but I've posted it for all to critique and enjoy here.
In other news, not much to report. I would like to suggest the novel Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K. Hamilton to anyone who likes a very modern detective story with a vampire/supernatural twist. I may be the last man on this particular boat, but with the sheer popularity of Twilight I felt that some other works deserved at least marginal attention.
