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.
