Currently, my primary focus is on a story involving Annie Oakley. It's required a considerable amount of research, including two personal trips to Greenville, OH (thus far), and it seems that for every stone overturned in this process, two more are revealed beneath it. But the learning has been rewarding, and I'm settling upon the feel I want the story to have -- something near a classic gothic horror piece.
To this end, I'll be consuming what I can of the pertinent classics I've neglected: Dracula, Frankenstein, and works by Poe and Lovecraft. I'm looking to absorb what I can, and let it influence what I envision as a lush and deeply atmospheric work.
This is just one of many works I have planned, and I hope organizing my thoughts in a blog will help me get them done.
I'll try to keep this blog updated.
End first entry.
