my goal is to start maintaining this blog as my personal writing space. I use myspace for some various blogs, with a pretty good exposure rate, but I need (want) something segregated, I guess. not entirely sure why, just do.
I intend to start posting here more and more frequently, especially as my life picks up some momentum.
it would seem I'm moving to seattle in a few days, to stay with abi shortly, then off to maui. yea, I know.
started reading the sookie stackhouse mysteries, absolutely love them! trueblood is a great show. and to make it better, I just finished torchwood: children of earth. like a fucking media miracle to have such good shows to watch. mmm. I can't wait till doctor who!
other than that, I don't have too much to say yet. I miss kolt, which is a given, and we talked for four hours yesterday which meant a lot to me. I want him back in my life. I don't know if it's reasonable to think if I grow, I can have him around again. he says that's the case, so I can hope, but it's so complicated. just miss him so much. he means the world to me.

accomplishments
so, somehow, I did all of the things I said I was going to do in my last blog. which is to say, I went to seattle with abi (blast! love cher), saw harry potter 6 (boo! not impressed. colour story?), played around with this guy, and now I'm getting ready to go to mt. rainier for a *really* late-starting camping trip.
finished harry potter 7, easy; also finished fragment, which I loved. very much a book-to-movie kind of story. absolutely loved the evolutarionary principles the author posits, including that cells die as a means of preventing genetic breakdown over generations. oh! brilliant.
then I read the physick book of deliverance dane which was simply amazing. about a woman who discovers an actual witch in the history of the salem witch trials, and it's one of her ancestors. she learns she too possesses abilities, and it's a really well-developed character. loved it.
oh yea, and I read last call by jim butcher, it was in an anthology released like a week ago, so I was excited to pick it up. very cool. apparently mac is *not* a wizard. whodathunkit?
location: home pro tem (spanaway, wa) then to mt. rainier
reading: codex alera 1 (jim butcher), the book of physics and god (enrique joven)
music: want (3oh!3); the fame (lady gaga); the complete studio recordings (abba)
word count: ~800 (eep, I know!)

introductions
this is my first post here on blogger, for which I'm pretty excited. I've decided to create a writer's journal, showcasing excerpts, storylines, plots, characters, whatever, about the work I'm doing as a career-minded author-to-be.
my name is cody trotter, I don't enjoy capital letters when I'm blugging, except for where they really matter, and if I can build up enough steam, I'm gonna take the literary world by storm. ha. I'm comin'.
I also figure I'll have a series of addendums for each post, so that you guys always know what's going on with my life (and so I can keep track for myself! this stuff could be important!).
for those of you wondering, yes, I'm concurrently reading three books. eff you.
I'm working on a couple pieces of writing right now. the first is a short story called crimson halo, a vampire homoerotica that is actually in response to a call for submission, in which I introduce a vampire from my own mythos who falls in love with a human boy (twilight but good?); the oak and holly is another short story featuring a magical, demigod-owned-and-operated b&b that disappears and reappears around the world when-and-where it is needed; a day in the life of charly (and other normal tales of abnormal people) is a book of seven eccentrics and how they behave in everyday life; and the seven sad stories of sal is a satire about the misadventures of salvadore goodfellow in life, love, and the world. these seem to be some of the more prominent projects on my table, though I've got a lot of full-length fantasy/sci-fi work that I intend to do later, too.
tomorrow? going to seattle with abi. watching harry potter 6 tomorrow night (woot!), then maybe spending the day in bondage wednesday, then a camping trip this weekend with arielle at mt. rainier. awesome.
