In a creative mood

As these are my 'days off' I haven't really been doing a great deal. I've been working on my physics assignment, which has been causing me occassional trouble. By which I mean that I get hopelessly stuck, go to bed, wake up and know how to do it. The mind is an amazing thing. Still this has told me that I must be careful to allow time before writing my assignments! I think its gone ok now, though I need to check some tomorrow.

I've been trying to flesh out a story again. I know I seem to do this an awful lot, but it is something I've always wanted to do. You see, I made up a character when I was seven, and have continued working on him ever since, to the point where he seems real to me. So I want to finally write his story, instead of having it in my mind - though I think I'll have him as a bit-player, as I made him a bit too mary-sue-ish, I suspect. In any case, perfect people are only interesting in vignettes, not in anything larger. So I'm working on names at the moment, and might try a bit of research sometime or other. Only it seems that I know rather more Hindu mythology than I realised - how on earth did I come up with various titles of deities in Hinduism when I was seven? Hmmm. This is what happens when you read insatiably - you wind up knowing things you didn't think you knew!

So, I'm going to have a go, anyway. Still as its waited sixteen years so far, I'm not going to rush this. Just a shame that one of my 'names' turned out to have a real meaning. I'd chosen gnomon as the title/name of my bad guy...only it turns out to be part of a sundial, which isn't quite the impression I was after. Still, never mind.
