So I have decided to write a novel. I draw inspiration from the wuxia works of Jinyong, including such titles as She Diao Yin Xiong Zhuan, Shen Diao Xia Lu, Yi Tian Tu Long Ji, Bi Xie Jian, and Xiao Ao Jiang Hu. I think the strength of these works is his ability to create believable characters in a tremendously detailed and highly imaginative wu lin jiang hu setting. I love the politics between the various pugilist sects as they sort out quarrels, compete in martial arts and try to live up to be heroes of their age.
Whether or not the book ever becomes published, I think it will be nice to have something that's all my own, a work of fiction in which I am the creator. I've enjoyed other peoples' work; now I want to try my hand at the art of novel-writing as well.
This blog will be my tool to conquer writer's block. They say that writer's block is something you can only defeat by writing. I'll also use this blog to do a lot of brainstorming, so if you ever happen on this place, please don't expect it to make any coherent sense. Although, if you do stumble upon here, you probably won't read this post anyway.
Shruggles!
Here we go...
