So, remember that vampire story I've told you guys about?

Yeah. That one. The one that I kind of quit working on because I got so sick of "Good Vampires" (even though there are a lot of really awesome good-vampire stories still out there, such as the Vampire Academy series and the House of Night series and the Evernight series and the Blue Bloods series and a lot of stand-alone novels like Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side, and yes, even Twilight - someone remind me to tell you about my thoughts on Twilight later). There are good ones out there and they are fun to read, but I was tired of being hit over the head by Good Vampires every time I walk into Barnes & Noble. I didn't want to write one.

But I missed Eliza. And Ben. And Greg.

Well, I had a brainstorm. And it involves Bad Vampires. YAY!

I lovelovelove this new idea. It's gonna do wonderful things for the character development and I think it's gonna make the story a lot more focused and a lot better in general and I'm really excited about writing it.

But it's gonna take some major restructuring and rewriting. There are going to be favorite scenes that I'm going to have to completely get rid of or at least alter significantly. I knew this was going to happen when I started writing. So so so many writers have said that you have to "murder your darlings" and be prepared to get rid of bits you like for the sake of the story. But it is sad.

At least now I'll have some deleted scenes to share if I ever get famous for it. XD

Also, the following entertaining videos were shared with me by my father. You should watch them. They're funny.

Now I'm gonna go figure out this new storyline. Because it's awesome. At least, I think so. G'night, all!

Love,
