meejI have so many things written and approaching completion, and my brain is sluggish and lethargic. I reached a very good point in Lai versus Mirain (spoiler: Laikhaila wins, because she is the Best Blood Knight), and then I just stared at the page and went to go dig up Nerubian artifacts (because puzzle-boxes of hell are just the thing for Greyspell).
I have posts on every board, and stories I've been working on for actual literal years, and tiny scenelets that I have sketched out in my notebooks. BRAIN-BLOAT, Y U SO HARD.
It's probably all the lolspeak I do, the abbreviated words and elided morae turning my brain into a soft mushy anvil against which no wordsmithing can make do.
I am reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, which came highly recommended, and which also posits a mighty sovereignty hight Panem. As soon as I saw that, I knew that I was going to like this, as horrible as it sounds.
I am also finishing up the Mistborn trilogy, by Brandon Sanderson. He has many gifts as an author, but one of the main ones is his sheer creativity about magical systems. Allomancy and Feruchemy are some of the coolest ideas for How To Win I've ever seen, and Vin is very clever with her uses within boundaries. Now there's a new kind of magic in that world, though, and I am uneasy just at the name 'hemalurgy'. (I am amused that even before I picked up the books I'd had ideas for Greyspell to study the bloodsmithing of Deepholm. It is what he does.)
Today's plans: aprontimes, writing some letters. I KNOW I OWE SKEILER AND Z!
