written words

 
 

 
 

I'm a little torn about this, actually. I don't really consider myself a writer anymore. On the other hand, I can't stop myself from, you know, writing. And this page is going to turn out to be a love letter to NaNoWriMo, and that's not a bad thing. I love you, NaNoWriMo!

The thing is, I had a lot more time on my hands before I moved to California. And I used to write novels. Now between my job and my vestigial social life, I am putting what little spare time I have into the comic. Unless it's November or... whatever month ScriptFrenzy is in.
 
Anyway, here are the novels I've written- which are in no way complete, or even readable. But I always have a lot of fun writing them. And then I throw them in a drawer.
 

Dead Things (November 2009)

Kind of a ghost story with time travel and a prison break, only that makes it sound way more exciting than it actually worked out to be.
   

The Uncertainty Syndrome (November 2008)

Which I think could have worked a lot better if I'd made the hero and the villain switch places. It was a novel about precognition, which I thought would be impossible to write... and I was right!
 

The Harrowgate Horror (April 2008)

A reworking of something I'd written in 2005. I had an awful lot of fun writing this. It's a depraved teen slasher with Lovecraftian undertones!
 

<untitled laser coffin novel> (March 2008)

Actually, not so much a novel as a string of really bad ideas crammed together into one appalling, messy place. Still, I was amused by it.
 

The Dark/ Bright Angel (November 2007)

Who knew a book about vampires, werewolves and mad scientists could be so... boring? This one is infamous in my family circle as the horror novel where the only thing that happens is someone misplaces a purse. Sigh!
 

Dramaramageddon 2 (July 2007)

It was ridiculous the first time around, and... it still is!
 

The Princess of Petals (November 2006)

Is it a murder mystery, a supernatural thriller or the most depressing origin story for a super hero ever? Or all three?
 

Four Horsemen Part 2 (July 2006)

 

Dramaramageddon (June 2006)

This is a total piece of insanity that I wrote when my laptop died and it took forever to replace it and I couldn't work on my comic.
 

Tin Heart (March 2006)

 

Four Horsemen (November 2005)

This is the one of my novels that I actually think that... if I could be bothered to put the effort into it, might turn out to be something worthwhile.
 

On Black Wings Borne (July 2005)

This one, on the other hand, is a total mess, where I changed who the villain would be every five pages or so.
 

The Sensualist (November 2004)

This one is also one I use as a cautionary example (this and my boring 2007 NaNo); I like this one and it was great up until about 45K when it took an unanticipated left turn off my plot outline and into a corner I couldn't think my way out of. And there it sits.
 

The Emotionalist (November 2003)

 
Stranded in the Future (November 2002)
