I've rediscovered reading. I've been reading the Dark-Hunter novels by Sherrilyn Kenyon (I'd read a few and enjoyed them, but I've now got the entire series as e-books), which are good. They get better as the series goes along.
I've now moved on to other fantasy books. I can recommend the Edge series, by Ilona Andrews. I was hooked, and the bonus is that there are only four books (saying that, I'd like there to be a few more, and I think there will be at some point).
Anyway, the result of all this renewed reading has led to my muse re-emerging from wherever she's been for the last ten years! Some of you may remember that I wrote a Harry Potter fanfic called "Wood & Wild" many years ago (there are actually scenes from the sequels that I've written that haven't been "published"). A few of my friends had suggested at the time that I rewrite it as a fiction novel, but I thought it'd be too much like hard work.
Now, I've been rethinking it. Some bits of the fanfic are really nothing to do with Harry Potter, and I've got so many of my own characters that would only need tweaking to make them truly my own. So I'm actually seriously thinking about writing a novel.
However, this does mean that I'm now reading about string theory and fracture mechanics. I'm the type of person who needs to know how my world works, so quite a bit of research in my future. As I'm a physicist, I need to approach things from a physics point of view.
But I'm excited. I'm looking forward to it.
