A Tuesday, I presume?

Journal Entry: Tue May 13, 2008, 8:58 PM
First of all, if you aren't taking advantage of deviantartcommunity, then you might want to take a look and get yourself listed. It operates like a directory of deviant types, so if you're looking for your friendly neighborhood digital landscaper, jewelry maker or emotional poet, make it your first stop.

At the time of this journal's posting, I'm one of two Fantasy Writers listed there. Tonight, I met the other one, the very kind and generous ~Lady-Shade, who in addition to spinning her tales, is producing color artwork for the first ten people who reply to her current journal. So, if you have a character that burns to be captured in living color, you might want to pay her a visit. Why not give her gallery a look, too?

Before I get chided by certain people, and you know who you are (:hug:), I am indeed writing. For the next Two Paths installment, I'm continuing the idea of using a POV other than Elene's or Dominic's. It's proving to be very refreshing and inspiring, so I hope to make the most of it.

Thank you so much for that! I'm happy that the story is keeping you interested. I wish I could write nonstop too! :D

Claymore is an awesome series! I discovered it well after I'd begun writing TP, but the series has easily inspired me. I have yet to watch any of Chrono Crusade, although several people have recommended it to me. Not enough hours in the day, I guess. :)

From the day you got the DD for the prologue of Two Paths I was hooked. I read all the chapters as quickly as I could and then started waiting for the next you'd write. Your story is amazing! For my taste it is perfect. I love the setting of the medieval/fantasy world complete with the desperate Christian like faith and the imminent daemonic threat. I wish you could write nonstop so I can read it all and see what happens.
If you haven't already, you should watch Claymore and/or Chrno Crusade. They're 2 anime series that use the Christian vs. daemons theme, complete with something akin to warrior nuns.

... Where lies the world's meaning? So smiling and gay,
Did you, dear, live only to die in this way?
If this has some meaning, it's godless and odd:
Upon your wan forehead one cannot read "God"!

Most welcome! It's a ghoulishly fun story.
