I think if I should ever acquire a bit of money my first order of business shall be travel. The Elements series (loosely titled so because I'm not sure what it will eventually be) takes place in several worlds created by me. As much as these lands are figments of my imagination, I want them to be based off of truths. How else would I achieve anything close to realism in a world seeped with magic and fantasy?
I spent the morning watching documentaries. Namely, the National Geographic's spread on wild India and China peppered with a few episodes of Survivorman. I found these past few hours to be exceedingly helpful, particularly because I find research books dull and because I'm a far cry away from being able to afford to travel to any of these places on my own...at least, not anytime soon. If I gain any measure of success, perhaps I will beg my publishers to grant me a trip to Asia. In the mean time, these Netflix documentaries are working just fine.
I'm partly through the seventh chapter of "Submerged", a scene I found somewhat boring between Jura and Tylak. I put it aside for now but plan on attacking it tomorrow. After I spend the evening plotting out how to torture the couple in an effort to spice things up.
Coralynn, though mainly a spoiled brat, is stealing into my heart in much the same way as Kay and I think "Submerged" will feature a good healthy dose of them both.
In further news there has been no more evidence of the mouse though I know he's still out there, probably planning his next attack. There are those who argue that I just need to set up some traps but honestly, I haven't got the heart.
