Why do I feel like today may be the day I will look back and realize this was the day that changed my life? It's been one of those days that has opened my eyes to what else is out there. It's like when I discovered Fantasy (which was at a very advanced age compared to some people - I was 28/29 at the time) and wondered what had taken me so long!
Yes, there is really not a lot out there about Steampunk but the stuff I did find was intriguing. And the fact that there isn't a lot also interests me. I can be just one of a thousand authors trying to break into Paranormal... or I can see if I can be a pioneer in Steampunk. And there are COSTUMES. *shrieks* Yes, I'm a closet CosPlayer. My motto has always been: If you can't do it right, don't do it at all. But these are BEAUTIFUL! Victorian Era with a dash of leather and metal.
I have a location for my story (including old maps since it's a real place). I have at least two characters (the rest will come). I even have music (cause nothing says Steampunk to me like Within Temptation).
Come get me, NaNo! I've got direction like I haven't had in years!
