This will actually be the first official entry into this thing. I really don't know what to talk about.

I suppose there might actually be someone out there that wants to know something about this mysterious entity known as the Zeddicuus. That will come...all in good time.

For now, I want to talk about a book I'm currently writing. I'm not going to go into a lot of detail, as I really want to finish it and not leave ideas out for people to stea. Yeah, I'm paranoid if I think someone might actually try to 'liberate' my ideas.

The characters I'm using are from various literary RP's I've played over the years. Each one holds a personal significance to me, something of me during the times I wrote about those characters. The names themselves bring to mind special memories of adventures during their stories. Their victories, their defeats. They're personal losses and gains. They're spiritual and mental growth, and of course facing their own fears and realizing they are not perfect, that they have their own individual flaws that do in fact create a part of just who they are.

Many represent certain aspects of myself, amplified. It's going to be a rather personal novel, with hidden meaning to myself and those that know of all the things I have gone through, yet will have a story that anyone can get interested in, set in a world that I hope will prove intriguing and engrossing.

It's a tall order, and I"m nervous I'll fail. I've been creating this world in my mind for over 5 years. I have entire countries, cultures and traditions planned out in my head. Trading routes and political intrigue, allies and enemies. It's all rooted deep in my mind and is begging to come out.

And I am attempting to do just that.

Perhaps I'll speak of this again. I know it's exceedingly vague, but I feel that at this point in time words cannot do it justice. It's an enormous undertaking on my behalf. I probably have enough crap in my head to fill 6 novels easily.

And I"m worried as Hell it'll all crumble into crap. Whee!
