If it's not working, it's not working.

And my novel_in_90 story idea?

Is VERY not working.

So I'm putting it aside for now. There's just not enough prep for me to commit to it right now, although I'm definitely going to pick it up in the future. I mean, when I've done more work on the brothers story that I don't even have a title for just yet, that's saying something. Seven hundred and fifty words a day is easy for me, with the condition that I need to know what the hell is going on first.

Having said that, I'm dusting off The Vampires of Vandling instead. I've got about 25k to 30k, if I'm remembering correctly. Let's see if I can finish this fucker off.

*rubs hands together in anticipation*

(I suppose I should whip out The Walking Dead of Wilkes-Barre and get that finished first since it's the second book in the series and Vampires is third, but I need to rewrite more of Walking Dead and Vampires has a lot of fun toys to play with. :))

What's the first one in the series?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

It goes like this (although most of the titles are tentative, depending on if I have to shift settings):

The Monsters of Moosic
The Walking Dead of Wilkes-Barre
The Vampires of Vandling
The Sorcerers of Scranton
The Necromancers of Nanticoke
The Unicorns of Uniondale
The Ogres of Olyphant
The Trolls of Tamaqua
The Dragons of Dunmore
The Mages of Montrose

And I've got every single one of them planned out in excrutiating detail. :)

Dang! How long have you been plotting this series?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Um, around three or four years, I think. I know I started it before The Office started, because I wanted to write something set in northeastern PA since they never set anything here. And I started the second book during NaNo in 2004 which means I finished the first book in early 2005, if I'm remembering correctly.

Awesome! That's some dedication. Now all you need to do is get them published. ;)

You're right. Fantasy books are never set on the east coast (unless it's NYC). That's why White Spirit is set in the Blue Ridge Mountains of NC.
