Meet the Storyteller

Hello Readers,

   I'm Obsidian, or Sid/Siddy for short. I'm a writer. A storyteller. I write fiction. I also like tea. A lot. I already have my randomness blog, Reverie Musings, up and running (as neglected as it can be...) ... But I wanted one I could use specifically for writing. Some place where I can post my random writings and exercises I do.
   At the moment, I have one first draft of a novel complete and ready for editing and severe re-writing... And another first draft that is almost complete. I have dozens and dozens of characters, and I do argue with them as if they are real. I even argue with them out in public. You'll hear about these occasions as well on this blog.
   To be honest, I would love it if I had regular readers of this blog, but I don't mind if I don't. Really, it's more of a way for me to keep track of my progress, rant, express myself, and so on. Something I think I need in my life. A place where I can rant and be honest.
... Or just post the random little writings I create and bitch about my characters.
   ANYWAY! As always, feel free to shoot me a question on formpool.me, follow my Twitter, or comment on my blogs. Share your opinions, stories, and such. That's what makes life fun.
Until next time~

Read on!

   - Siddy

Naomi Novik - Throne of Jade

Naomi Novik has done it again, weaving a fantastic tale of trials, troubles, and challenges for Captain Laurence and Temeraire! I voraciously read through this book, often deciding to read a chapter before bed and ending up reading three or four chapters instead, staying up until the early hours of the morning just to see what happened next. I could not put it down! I recommend this book to anyone that adores dragons and fantasy. Don't read it without reading the first in the Temeraire series, though.

D.J. MacHale - "Morpheus Road: The Light"

I've often heard that writing in first person is a difficult art to become good at, but D.J. MacHale nailed it. I was up until sunrise reading this book, constantly wondering what would happen next and if Marshall Seaver would escape alive. I could not stop reading this book.

This is the first MacHale book I've read. My sister read the Pendragon series and swears by them and when she started reading the Pendragon series she wasn't a big reader. We thank MacHale for turning her into a reader. He is her absolute favorite author and he has been added to my list of favorites thanks to the beautiful, thrilling, and sometimes frightening-edge-of-your-seat work of The Light.

I usually don't cry in books, but I felt such a profound connection to the character that I was afraid when they were afraid, excited when they were excited, sad when they were sad, and I was right there with them when they were desperately hoping to the very end that-- well, better not ruin the story.

You will not regret picking this book up. I will definitely return to read it over and over again. Just one warning; if you scare easily, don't read it before bed!
