The Dreamscape Universe of An Aspiring Scribe

"One describes a tale best by telling the tale. You see? The way one describes a story, to oneself or to the world, is by telling the story. It is a balancing act and it is a dream. The more accurate the map, the more it resembles the territory. The most accurate map possible would be the territory, and thus would be perfectly accurate and perfectly useless. The tale is the map that is the territory." --Neil Gaiman, 'American Gods'

I'm a 21-year-old college student with dreams of being a professional writer. As you can tell from this blog, I certainly have the ego for it!

Guess What...A Writing Update!

Yep. That's right. I've been writing again.

Actually, what I've been doing would more accurately be described as "plotting"; I've been working on the outline to my sci-fi novel. It's coming along very well. If you'll remember, I originally lost my outline when my computer got Linux onto it, and the CDs I had written information to refused to copy the files to my hard drive for some reason. I managed to get a few paragraphs of important stuff back, but most of what I had done up to that point was oblivion.

Now, I've re-written all that part of the outline and gotten so much farther in the story than ever before. I'm at the point right now where my imagination never worked out what would happen. I figured out the beginning and I pretty much know where I'm heading at the end, but the middle--the meat of the journey--has always eluded me. Now I'm working it out, and I'm very pleased with how I've worked things so far. Hopefully, I'll be able to continue that for this week...and maybe I'll even get the whole outline done. That would be really cool.

Be seeing you,
Steven
