Waffling...

This is one of those days where I have no idea what I did...aside from laundry. And making my bed with clean sheets. And a dash of ironing. And lots of chit chat online with people I know. Finding out some of them have updated their contact info and getting that down.

And...thinking. Trying to decide how to handle the Franz part of Blood Angel now that I know the direction it needs to go. Léonidès has been a fairly decent guy, for a vampire. Not bestial like his sister can be. And he keeps his troupe in line, so they aren't feeding on just anyone.

But I wonder if this new aspect needs to be brought forward, more. Or now. Have Léon deal with an instinct that surprises him when he's told No. And how that should be handled. Does he seduce Franz? Coerce him? Flat out rape him? Turn him to save him from an infection that is killing him? Get interrupted as he's feeding on him to kill him? I can see justifications for them all, so can't really decide.

The only thing I know for certain, right now, is Franz is not gay and deep within him is harbored a hate and cruelty that winds up being unleashed when he's turned. And Leon thinks maybe if he's with a woman as his lead instead of a gay man that he'll be better. I haven't figured out how that will develop, yet.

But at least I'm back to thinking about a story to write. A novella. And I think I'll keep posting these on GayDemon, to be read for free. That seemed to get people interested in my actual novels. I think.

I could also do a followup to The Beast, where Warren winds up working for a secret space-ship-stop that serves fuel and meals, in some area of the desert...or mountains. And he's tasked with bringing men to it to be on the menu. That could could become very black comedy...maybe.

Oh, decisions, decisions...
