a swiftly tilting planet, a wind in the door, a wrinkle in time, blog chains, characters, doctor who, late, madeleine l'engle, selay'uu (sort of), writing
Go visit Rosalie’s blog, if you’re curious. Unfortunately, I’m in the middle of Dead Week and can’t help you much.
Well… a character who I’ve created who will probably never feature in a novel… Casceny! No, just kidding. The steampunk time-traveler heroine may or may not have a novel in the works. Eventually. So far, the time travelers in the Mind Palace are Charles Wallace Murray and Meg Murray (A Wrinkle in Time and its sequels), the Doctor (Doctor Who), and my own characters, Emrys Williams, Casceny, and a young Hispanic lady who is going by the alias of “Maria” at the moment until I can pick out a better name for her. Emrys is first in line and Maria is second (multi-cultural time travel academy, here we come!) But Casceny is still not eliminated from the running.
But she’ll be in the countdown anyway, since right now she’s more of an interest person and an agent of chaos in the mind palace at the moment.
More seriously, Kysherin. Kysherin is my evil muse. Generally a not-very-nice person. Pesters me to write, and then bothers me while I am writing. If I come up with a wonderous thing, she comes up with a way to corrupt it totally. All angst, posted here and elsewhere, is absolutely 100% her fault. (Okay, except for the sensory-overload type, which is me trying to cope with my overwhelming surroundings.)
There’s also Oliver, who is one of my all-time favorite characters, and who Writefury and I came up with. I probably shouldn’t even be talking about him yet, but I haven’t mentioned what he comes up in, so we’re good… you’ll all probably recognize him when he does, though. Technically he doesn’t count because he DOES exist in a project in what Rosalie terms the Erin!verse (which is a composite of all my ongoing projects at any given time.) But it’s not a novel. I just HAD to post about him, since he’s AWESOME, and let me just say, I can hardly wait. ;-D
And finally, there’s Chaos, who is barred from the mind palace for obvious reasons. Chaos is my artistic vent. She always wants to fight and start minor class wars. She’s a teenaged Marxist and anarchist and I sometimes doodle her getting into well-deserved trouble when I’m particularly hot under the collar about something (mostly politics). Favorite pastimes include random vandalism and Luddite-ing with copies of Das Kapital. Needless to say, I never plan on posting anything featuring her on this blog. If she were here, Chaos would claim that she was created as a caricature of Bernie Sanders, but she is a blatant liar and you should not trust anything she says. Ever. (Caricacturing Bernie Sanders would be giving me far too much credit, and I can’t draw Trump.)

I am very sorry you have an evil muse. Lianna, my muse/brainkeeper, can be annoying at times but overall she’s quite nice. However, Lianna would like to protest on behalf of muses everywhere that writers do not make up their muses; they just acknowledge those muses exist. Take that as you will.
I’m terribly curious about Oliver now, by the way.
You’ll just have to wait. (Don’t worry, when he does come into play he will probably appear via both our blogs 😉
Thank you! You are extremely awesome!
I also want to fangirl about the mysterious Oliver but I think I will wait… and fangirl about the other Oliver in the meantime.
Kysherin is just shockin’. (You should totally do a Kysherin origin story someday… like I know you’ve given us the outline, but a story would be so much fun… maybe she was once a good muse and then did something stupid that turned out to kill the good guys and the chief muse sent her to join the Evil Muses as punishment? Rambling over here.)
You’re welcome 😉
X-D You’ll find out about Oliver soon. ;-P
Well… I think she was just bad straight from the start. I caught her singing “When You’re Evil” in the hallway the other day.
Oooh… evil Kysherin.
(But is she evil enough to give me Oliver spoilers, that’s the real question.)
(Maybe via email, but I’ll get in trouble if I tell you too much too soon. You might learn more if you are willing to voiceover for a project…. 😉 )
WHERE DO I SIGN UP???
I’ll email you 😛
Mwa-ha. >:) *knows who Oliver is* 😛
Watch out, Rosalie will pester you for details. She’s rather fascinated X-D
*steals Steve’s shield to guard myself*
Oh wait, I got her on board the project. She’s playing the character “Coppelia” in a future episode ;-P
Ah, good. 😉
