Welcome to Gaia! ::

I usually write fantasy type stuff that is super-natural something or other. I've got three main projects going on right now.
The first one is the one I'm writing by myself. It's a novel about two lovers stuck in a reincarnation cycle because they tangled the threads of fate up when they were first reincarnated and so have to keep living new lives that are almost repeats of their prior ones until they fix the mess they've caused. She's a mage and has the whole special mcspecialsen thing going on. He's a normal human and the normal humans and the mages don't really have much to do with each other because they tolerate but don't like each other and there's a whole power-struggle drama centered around her because of who she's fallen for, but also because mages aren't allowed to fall in love because reproducing causes them to lose their magic. The actually story picks up in their thirteenth life which is the one where everything changes and is also the most complicated situation, because the time between this and their last lives is shorter and since mages are long-lived people she new in her last life are still alive in this one (just way older).

The second thing I'm working on is a conglomeration me and my best guy friend came up with. It started as a roleplay, but then it got good and one day we're going to clean it up and novelize it. It basically centers around several pairs of charcters in this one particular city that is one of those cities that everybody passes through at some point. There's also a group of characters in a city-kingdom in the deep north. These characters all have separate lives and stories, but unbeknownst to them their stories are all incredibly interconnected, so things that they do affect people they don't even know in odd ways. It's pretty interesting. Definitely fantasy, although we drew from some quirky legends as well, and it's a world where our mythical beings are all very very real, but people are aware of this and just sort of recognize it. The pairs of characters are also fairly interesting.

And finally the third main project is between one of my friends and me. We're writing a dystopian trilogy about a world where the in the name of having the "perfect" life cities function in a fifties-esque manner despite the hyper advanced technology and anyone who is considered abnormal (this could be anything from minor allergies to a genetic alliment) are weeded out of the society. Babies are scanned for abnormalities at birth and the abnormals are sent away to the machine (unless parents opt to keep them, but there are a ton of restrictions and rules on this, so most don't). The machine is like a moving factory city, but the people there are told that they are there because they have an issue breathing normal air like what is on "the outside." The machine prizes creativity and intelligence rather than perfection. So the first book is about a kid inside the machine. The second is about an abnormal whose parents kept her. And the third is both stories retold from the perspective of government officials and kind of ties together all the little loose ends.

I write some poetry sometimes though. Right now I'm working on a poem series from the perspective of a jedi in training (one a made up). The series focuses on the challenges of being padawan and on canon characters as she would see them. It's a quirky series, but I'm having fun with it.


sorry I babbled so much. I get like that about my writing. XD

I don't really call myself a Hindu. I call myself more of an "eastern explorer" just because there is so much of India's culture wrapped up in the Hindu label I think it would be slightly confusing to others.

I'm glad I've finally acknowledged Ganesh, though. I've been learning a lot, and finally feel "at home" in a spiritual sense, yknow?

Well...The general overarching topic is sort of a really loose religious discussion. But me and haunting heaven have also digressed into a literary discussion as we're both writers...so the answer is both yes and no I guess. XD

I guess we can either talk about what you belive or...you could pick something totally random.



Yeah I do know. That was how I felt when I found my Gods. Just a sense of homeyness. I'm happy for you. smile



I adore world-building. Probably more than most writers do. I have stacks of notebooks of sketches and such having to do with my worlds. It's funny because my co-writer for that third idea adores how detailed our world is, but at the same time he's wanting to jump in and start writing like crazy and I'm still examining the fine points of a functional fictional society. It's pretty funny.

I'm so quirky when I write, before stuff even gets into the notebooks, it's on sticky notes. Like my entire novel started out as sticky notes on my closet door. I find it's easier to write when stuff can move...lol I've got stickies everywhere now that I'm working on three big projects though. And I mean everywhere. It's good those things are cheep.

And sure if I get anything published I will let you (And the whole guild for that matter) know all about it. smile Now hopefully I'll be finishing something into a publishable state in the near future. XD

I'm not actually that freakily organized. Really. But I have my system and it works for me. Like I can't write well otherwise because I feel like my ideas are all just kind of stuck up there. I don't always come up with stuff chronologically, so the sticky notes help because I can arrange them chronologically even if I don't write them that way.

I guess the only part that gets confusing is the fact that there's more than one project and I don't color code my sticky notes. So I actually have to read them to figure out where they go. And I'm sure I've lost one at some point, but the one's I get stick real well, so I usually don't lose any. It's a good system for me. 3nodding

And if need a writing buddy to edit or bounce ideas off of - I'd be glad to help you as well. And on that note I'm going to friend you. biggrin

It's an interesting system, and I'm glad it works for you. c: And that's a good point about not writing chronologically--I don't either, and now I'm halfway wondering if sticky notes (or something else that I can move around, like maybe notebook paper in a binder) might work for me. xD Right now I mostly write longhand in notebooks anyway, so a binder wouldn't be a big change.

Well, thank you--I would appreciate that, actually. c: And thanks for the invite. whee Perhaps we can swap stuff at some point. :3

What's your preferred genre for reading?

*Knock knock * Anybody still here?

I believe that the universe has a creator I however do not claim to know who or what he is so I am not quite sure what that makes me xd but yes I love making new friends smile
