Hello daily bloggers! I am a writer. I love to write and have been fortunate to find an occupation that allows me to write for a living. Today though, I am going to be talking more about the love aspect of writing. I want to share with you my newest passion project.
I have been filling this composition book with notes for quite a while, a year or more, not knowing exactly what these notes were destined for. Now the purpose of my notes is coming together and I also have a new aspect to my daily routines ... writing my fantasy novel!
Writing is a part of my daily routine. I write down ideas in the morning, write out my to-do lists and then write for my job. On my days off write in my journal.
This galaxy-themed-composition book holds notes I have taken on Astronomy as well as Astrology over the past year or so. It all began when I looked up my birth chart and found that I am not a Virgo, as I had always thought, but instead a Libra in the sun sign version of astrology. Then, I began to delve into other types of astrology from True Sidereal Astrology to Fixed Star Astrology ... to simply looking up at the sky and admiring the planets and constellations that I can identify.
During this time, the app/website Stellarium has been a great use to me. I have the app on my phone and open up the web-based-website which I have linked above to get a better idea of the constellations in the night sky many nights of the week. I guess you can say that star gazing has become a part of my daily life as well as writing.
The Premise of the Novel (so far)
But, it wasn't until I began reading a fanfiction book (more on that later) that I started to formulate a story that could combine the information that I have gathered in this notebook with the nightly visions I have before drifting off to sleep. In these nightly visions I have been dreaming up a setting for a love story between a werewolf and a pagan who lives by the stars.
And even the pictures that I printed out from Pinterest to cover up mistakes is a perfect visual description of the kind of home that I envision the main female character to live in.
As you can see, the story has leapt form the notebook and I have the introduction and a couple random scenes typed out on my computer. Now, it is Sunday, a day of chilling out at home, cleaning, eating, visiting friends, and (I am sure) a bit of brainstorming on how this story will continue.
