My attention has been brough to havemercy, a sci-fi fantasy (hello favourite genre!) and what I'd like to call steampunk-ish book written by two 21-year-olds via e-mailing and well, very magical means.

I have yet to read the publication, but I really want to, after hearing and seeing snippets of it.

It has metal dragons. How more awesome could that be?

Plus the fact that they're 21 makes me really inspired to make something of All the Soarings of My Mind Begin in My Blood (working title, will be reworked, of course). I really want to develop those 12 (or 20 I can't remember) pages into a full-length novel as soon as I can. It's a pet project of mine and having it worked in the writing workshop during the summer was definitely a big help. I'm probably starting a notebook of Soaring's world history and happenings, I want to do steam-punk though probably without dragons this time. It should be sexy (lol), witty book which deals with well, supposedly philosophical topics. Well the later isn't important. What I want to write is something which knocks people of their feet and make them clamber up just to get knocked down again. That sort of spell-binding book.

I've got the main character's voice down - the workshop loved her personality, as do I - and now I just have to flesh out everything around her. I don't need to give everything away, but I shouldn't be holding too much back.

For now, I need to get my hands on havemercy and get myself inspired.
