Okay--I have been marathoning Death Note because I haven't seen much of it, and I caught the first episode on Adult Swim the other day, and thought to myself, "Why haven't I watched that yet? I mean, I -know- it's an amazing anime, and I know I'll love it. I need to get on it." So I did. And every scene with L made me very hungry. I want delicious, delicious Japanese sweets. Especially the cake I always see consumed in anime. It looks amazing. I should head down to Olde Time Pastries and see if they've got anything like it...

Anyhow, while waiting for the episodes to load, I went over my outlines for In The Wake of the War--Saelh's story, y'know. I didn't tweak them too much, but I'm no longer in love with the details of them. Ah, well, something to be cleaned up in the second draft. I'll write them as is and see what I want to do from there, I s' pose.

I hope to finish soon, so I can start the process of being rejected by publishers. I think the greatest success, for me, would not be getting War published--don't get me wrong, that'd be an amazing success, just not the greatest one I can think of. No, the thing that would make me happiest in the whole world is having people read it, and like it to the point where they care about the characters and about the world. My greatest success would be creating a fandom.

I'll be truely happy when I see people drawing fanart and writing fanfic of the things born in my skull.
