Morning world.
I'm pleased to announce I'm actually writing again; for whatever it's worth. I mean, I doubt I'll ever get it published, probably won't even try, but it's literally been years since I even attempted something fictional; I haven't even done any fanfic since the end of Doctor Who, series 4, So the fact that I'm at least putting pen to paper (well, okay, fingers to keyboard) makes me feel like I am still a creative being.
And the story, such as it is, is working so far. The plot is basically one I'd thought of ages ago, but I finally found a way to make it work. Or at least feel like it's working. It's about a young woman who left her rich husband and is working in her first job ever, and the job turns out to be an administrative assistant to a vice president of a company in charge of taking care of supernatural beings.
I'm still working on the mythology of this place, but basically the people in the company are almost like angels, and they remain corporeal and immortal as long as they have a symbiotic relationship with the person who is their assistant - as long as that relationship is intact, the women in the job do not age or get ill. This means they live a lot longer, maybe 150 years or so (I've not decided yet) but eventually they run out of life-span. They age kind of rapidly - not into a skeleton, or anything, that's way to "The Hunger" but until they are old, and then they will die.
And the conflict, I think, is going to be some being who wants chaos to reign on earth and is trying to destroy the guardians, and my girl gets all caught up in it.
I'm rather pleased with it so far; I'm mixing the mundane-ness of working in an office with the whole 'magic' thing. It's kind of fun.
So...there you go.
Have a lovely day, everyone.
