Weird stuff's been going on lately. I have these really odd dreams, you know? I think I know the explanation for them, but it's going to sound so totally batty.

I don't even believe it myself.

Forgive me. I really should give you some background right? The story? Where do I start?

Hmmmm.

Yes.

The middle. I'll start with the middle. It seems like the middle to me. I suppose it doesn't matter that much.

As a child, I was prone to doing some really stupid things. You know, eating things that aren't food, climbing parts of the house that shouldn't be climbed, that sort of kid stuff. I always felt like I had a lot to prove, so I always would follow on a dare, and that led to a lot of time in bed.

My mother didn't know how to deal with my continuous bad behavior, so that usually left my aunt watching after me.

It started with one particularly harrowing playground dare, which landed me in bed, not allowed to sleep. To keep me awake and engaged, my aunt decided to read from an old book that she said might be historically accurate but probably wasn't. She said it was from a time so far back that we had no concrete way of knowing what exactly happened. There were records of people and all, but no real accounts of their lives like what's all around now with social sites and blogs and all that.

I've recently been inspired to try to write a story for probably about the sixth or eighth time now. I have a character that I've had for years, actually many characters that have been in my head for years, but I've never really been able to get their stories down in a satisfactory manner. Originally they all inhabited seperate worlds, but about two years ago when I was desperately trying to stay awake at work, I'd take tiny little breaks to write about a world that they all inhabited.

Recently, I've read some other authors' writing, and it's partially inspired me to start again. Also as I was transcribing my two year notes onto nicer paper, a coworker asked me what I was writing and seemed genuinely interested in it, so here I go.

It's going to be pieces. They probably won't be terribly cohesive, at least not at first, and maybe not ever. But they're scenes that I want to get down.

This tumblr is strictly for writing about this world and these characters. No fandoms, no politics, no social justice, nothing that doesn't pertain to this very specific purpose.

My regular tumblr is for all that other stuff. This is a lot more personal.
