Current projects: reading A Thousand and One Arabian Nights and continuing my work on the now titled Earl of Brass.
I am craving Moroccan food incredibly badly right now, but alas, the best place is an hour away near Caldwell. Ugh... all I want is Pastilla au Poulet and Moroccan cigars (an appetizer, I don't smoke). It was so delicious -drools-. Working on this story doesn't help either as my main character is rather wrapped up in the tastes of the near and far East. Oh, Eilian, why must you make me think of curry and Japanese cuisine!? I'm also researching tuberculosis, aka consumption in the Victorian Era, which is kind of a pain in the rear. On the internet, so many pages just barely mention how it effected the era or they discuss drug resistant TB, which didn't exist in the Victorian Era since there weren't any drugs to treat it. I found a book in my room that focuses on the historical context of disease with a section on TB, so hopefully, it'll be more helpful to me.
Writing has been ultra slow recently due to work and research. Work is okay, hits slow points throughout the day unfortunately, but it isn't bad at all. I think I need some inspiration (which I really want to come from Arabian Nights), but as of right now, I'm brain dead still. On a brighter note, I get to see Cirque du Soliel's latest production Zarkana in July!!! I can't wait!
