The Writer's Journey

I received my copy of The Writer's Journey by Christopher Vogler yesterday. I am excited about it. But as I started to read it today, I noted that the teeny tiny print is not confined to the introductions, but to the entire book. It has to be size 8 font. I'm not an old granny but still. It's going to be tough to read. And it's a dense book. I'm hoping I can kind of skim some parts I know and just figure out where I am in my own story and pick up there.

I'm also itching to start working on a new idea I have. Something with vampires, that takes them in a direction I've never seen before. But I feel I need to stick with what I started and finish my dragon novel first.

What do you think?

I hope you like the new look of my blog. Although I thought the old somewhat matched my fantasy topics, I felt it was time to freshen things up. Let me know what you think.

I am still working on the content for this blog. I have had some interest in seeing my novel here again, so I may repost it as I make edits. I also want to use this space to provide my writing students with some exercises or ideas, but since I do have a website for my classes elsewhere, it's probably best if this site is devoted to my personal writing career.

This weekend I have been attending an annual writers' conference hosted at my alma mater, so I hope to have some ideas to add here soon.
