I didn't have one last year, and thinking back it makes me sad. =(† iro's word count thread † † iro's word count thread † † iro's word count thread †
the goal? 50k. the project? Red Ocean.
Red Ocean is a collection of ten short stories, covering several dark topics while throwing in forbidden romance, manic women, and a few creepy kids just for the sheer hell of it all. Settings include hospitals; old mansions; crowded nightclubs; secluded beaches at high tide and cemeteries across the USA, Western Africa, Asia and Europe. Characters include ass-kicking psychiatrists, shy necrophilliacs, perverted photographers, homosexual little boys and a widowed bride.
... yes, I am leaning more towards "macabre and dark" over gothic lit. this year.
*will be posting regularly in here come October*

× Thursday, 1st October 2009. × × Thursday, 1st October 2009. × × Thursday, 1st October 2009. × † word count: 2,124. † aura: totally calm~ kinda hot too, where is the f'ing fan? † sound: Big Bang - Lies.yo-ho, yep, iro's ♀ an idiot. & here comes the intro: I knew it. Happens every time I'm passionate about an idea. So sí: I scraped my plot at 11pm last night - and I had had the idea ready all o' September too! Oh well, I guess I can leave it for another time, right? Go where your energy is and all that sh~, aye? So now I have this new idea about some horror/mystery novel. want info? well, since you asked so nice~ (and if you said no, then tough luck!) My new idea is a novel, rather than my original idea to write short stories. This features a serial killer murdering only unmarried, pregnant women. A group of criminal profilers -- uptight, wanna-go-it-alone tomboy: Cara Lynn; ladies man: Spencer; totally not gay Adrian (remember the name of the song I'm listening to? ;]); and sugar-fiend: August -- take on the mission of trying to [a.] work out the identity of the killer and [b.] work out why he is only going after a specific group of people (and more importantly, how he/she knows these otherwise unrelated people). & just for some fun, there will be: loveless alcoholic roommates; sexy-but-ain't-getting-any romantic interests (Luciano! *); plenty of pole dancing; an entire hotel-full of pornographic models and sleazy directors, and plenty of things that go bump in the night to freak the "level-headed" Cara out. :] 'til next night,
