How do I procrastinate without you?
I finished writing Djinn for Dummies, 17 pages of mythological goodness. I wish I’d done it a long time ago. It made connections I hadn’t even thought about. I’ve had djinn who hate a god because he gave man the knowledge to enslave them, but I never considered why the god would do such a thing. Once I did, another important historical event came to light…
If I’m not going to put something in a story, I tend not to think about it. Probably a mistake. Much as I’ve enjoyed all the AHA! moments while I’ve been writing this essay, it would have been more helpful to know a lot of this stuff before I wrote two books on a foundation with so many gaping holes in it. The new info won’t lead to any major changes, but the subtle ones might make some difference.
Now I’m kind of looking forward to laying out the mythology for dragons, vampires, and weres. Not so much the deities, since you know they’re going to be a bunch of vicious inbred whackadoos.
On second thought, that might be kind of fun…
