Zanguin

It has almost been a year since I last declared that I'd have this book written, and that I was doing it with my friend Glen. As I remember, "We're both committed to writing a 60,000 to a 100,000 word scifi novel in the next 334 Earth days. This project is to be completed and published within these dates: February 18, 2010 to January 20, 2011."

That day never came, that friend isn't around anymore, and the days before it were never mostly used to write Zanguin. She is my pride and joy, but I haven't had much spirit for her. Since I last remember, an energy washed over me which instilled inside of me a message, a tricky little bug that would dismantle my plans for my planet world. It sits so idly and patient. Somewhere inside of me, I bet the planet still spins and revolves around a glorious sun, and the people maintain their happiness, their spirits waiting to be given bodies, a land, a home.

That message told me to wait and grow and learn more before I even begin to tackle the idea. I looked around my life and agreed: school was something to focus on more because I was so close to graduating. Now that school is over and I have until the Fall to begin worrying about school, I have some time to learn, grow, blah blah, and work on Zanguin as well as get my life in order. Moving, traveling, writing, and getting a license are in my near future. I just know that I will do well on my driver's road test.

Someday soon, I know that Zanguin's world will explode with the words cultivating and twisting in writhes in my brain. I may have spent 50,000 of those precious words on another novel for National Novel Writing Month, but I know in my soul that another set of words will easily come from me when I finally sit down to comfortably write the novel. This Sunday morning will allow me to continue my plans with other projects for now, and the next weeks to come as well. Until such a fantasy, a dream, is to be birthed into the land of literature, I will continue doing what is still so passionate for me.

Recently, I started designing a card game, and I love it. It's such a neat idea and I can't wait to get it out there on print. The motivation for such a launch came from my dreams, which I've been having lately. In one night, I'd have a multitude of different dreams, all having nothing alike but one thing: myself inside of them. I had a dream some days ago which showed me as a successful board game designer.

If my dreams weren't realistic enough, this particular dreams in fact showed the entire game in print and I remembered exactly what the game was about. It's such a unique idea, too, so maybe it will launch successfully. I know that business is in my future. After all, I am a Capricorn.
