at least the now predictable side effect of reading a Sanderson series (having recently finished all the Mistborn novels in May) is the desire to organize the magic system a little bit more in Rose Red. As that world is still in nebulae instead of star, and getting more and more stuff tossed in all the time – plus that desire to make the setting closer to a Western Hemisphere versus ‘Old World’, even if it’s original goal was ‘standard medieval fantasy AU setting for characters/tidbits’ (which includes the temptation to go paleolithic critters to justify horses and some other domesticated animal fore-bearers).

What I really should do is write out the plot summaries/skeletons before I forget and to give myself more concrete scaffolding – even if so much of the skeleton should be labeled ‘fossil’ for how long it’s been mentally marinading and how partial it is.
