write or wrong
May. 26th, 2012 12:20 am - and suddenly i have 3000 words* and i'm two thirds of my way into an old skool, tongue-in-cheek, steampunk mystery/horror story (phew!).
Title: Spirit among the Magicians.
Total melodrama! It has wax dummies, false beards, a secret room and gobbledigook in wild abundance:
"I am the last of the Circle of Seven." - "I studied with Alchemists and at the feet of Brahmin on mountains hidden from all mortal sight..." indeed.
It has an aetheric assassin that travels by radio. AND it's nearly all talk!
I really didn't see THAT coming!
*ok, ok - not GOOD words necessarily, i realise that! LOL.
PS: anyone else having trouble formatting and posting just now???
