Day 23

I'm hoping to start focusing more on a couple of less fleshed out story ideas that have been floating about in my head for a while. So far my mind turns particularly to a YA story that I'd like to tell. Urban fantasy is growing in popularity but while I'd like to get my finger into that pie I want to make a point of doing my own version. Less romance to start with. In my opinion it's good at flavouring but not as the whole cake. (Just as a cake that has buttercream for the filling is too sweet, so do I think that a story based entirely on romance is too much.) I would like to explore the world and the nature of the supernatural in that world rather than romance either among supernaturals or among a human and a supernatural. I'm glad to be thinking about writing other stories. I do want to write more of my main project but if I'm going to chose something else to debut with I don't want it to be Legends of Caranor.

((i may update later with a word count))
