Irony is the Shackles of Youth

I have to admit, I am more impressed with the island of Hawaii than Oahu. But mostly that's because Hawaii still has active volcanoes. Which are awesome. I got to hike along the rim of Kilauea. I couldn't go into the crater itself because the National Park service had it closed due to venting gasses, including toxic gas. No thank you. I'll watch from a distance. I took lots and lots of mental notes for the rewrite of Dragon of Blood and Fire, because I think I want to expand on that universe more. It's an interesting universe, but you don't see enough of it in the stories. Before I can do the rewrite, I really need finish up the first draft though. Hrm.

I also have about 5 pages of notes and drawings for the Hawaiian dragon story. I started writing it on the trip here (during that 16 hour flight from hell, oh god, why do I have to do that again?) and strangely enough, I think it's going to be in a very similar format as the Dragon of Blood and Fire. That's probably why it reminded me of that story. It's nice to finally start it, because I've had the idea for the story for almost two years now (since I was last out in Hawaii). But I think I'm going to get all my ideas down on paper, because I'm not sure I want to come back out here. Maybe with miome, but that's the only way.

Now to do some writing.
