A New Beginning

My old novel is over unfortunately I gave up. I was too young when I first started it, my writing was full of teenageisms so now I am starting a new one :D sense the optimism. I'm using a lot of Norse Folklore in this one as well as old medieval english concepts. The Wheel of Fortune will feature heavily in this. It is called "The Hazards of Love" so far, from an Anne Briggs song and the title of a Decemberist's album (lol, I am still young right? haha). Right now it's hard to write, since the plot is still green but hopefully i'll soon be writing with the speed of lightening!!
Here are some songs that are inspiring me (that I can find :( Martin Carthy doesn't seem to be popular on the old UTUBE):



Argh The sound on this is terrible, she sounds like harpy. You should buy the proper song, just to hear how beautiful her voice really is!



I just like the video for this one:



I want to play this game. I played the second one, Silmeria which was good but not good enough. They are both beautifully made and feature strong heroines (er yeah, Alicia gets strong, I think XD). I think that in Silmeria, the game should have been about the Einherijar stories rather than Alicia's. Theres was so much more intresting. Kharon, as the evil pope shot through the heart on his inauguration day and Lylia and Lydia's stories are both two of my favourites. I want to be kidnapped from Crell Mont.! The history of the Rosetta dynasty and the battle of Camille Hill are so much more intresting that a trek to Yggdrasil. Just sayin'.
