Sep. 19th, 2009 01:08 pmElements are coming together for my next big writing dealy.
Using Lovecraftian elements is a hard thing to do, because only the man himself can write the way he did. Anyone else comes off as parody. In order to do it right, you have to look at the mythos from your own perspective.
So, that's what I'm going to try and do. Plus it let's me do more world building. I put this off because I didn't have the Lovecraftian levels of fatalism in me at the time. However, if I come at it from a different view, one I can't quite put into words, it'll feel more genuine to me.
So for now, I have characters and outlines drawn up, and I'm spending time talking to myself in my head, trying to get an idea of how these characters should act.
Expect a weekly list update thing when I get back from wandering.
