New year, resolution to keep the blog better. More interesting. Especially since in the past six months my world has whittled down to worrying about graduate school and thinking about the boyfriend.
Hence, a new, more sustainable format. A list of variable length each day, on a random topic. Here's hoping someone will come back to read!
Today's list: Story ideas that never saw the page 'til now.
* The Reluctant Quest: a King Arthur type story about a knight who has an older son still living at home, with no wish to go out and slay a dragon or rescue a princess. Stalled out because there was really no plot, just an idea that I thought was funny after reading three or four chapters of The Once and Future King.
* The Lexicon: (This one actually got startedish) a collection of short stories about the quintessential American villain, Lex Luthor. Technically fanfiction. Eeek.
* an untitled project that was supposed to be the defining novel about the nature of true love. Unfortunately it was just a dumping ground for a lot of emotion after a particularly nasty breakup.
And another one, because that was short:
Books I'd love to see made properly into movies:
* Harry Potter
* Dracula
* The rest of the Chronicles of Narnia
* House of Leaves
* Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle, after a fuckton of editing
