I want to tell the story of how she came to be in love with some alien entity from across space and time, about how she went a little mad when her father died, about how she loves her twin a smidgeon <i>too<\/i> much but not exactly in a Cersei\/Jaime way, and about how vain and wild and wicked she can be.<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; She sounds like such fun. Just writing up her generic background has a whole slew of ideas coursing through my mind and running out my fingertips.<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The main problem is&#8230; I&#8217;ve got two half-done novels (at least) to complete before I can let myself take on a new project. &#8220;Book Two&#8221; must be completed. Then &#8220;Code Name: Home&#8221; and &#8220;CN Brink: &#8221; and then&#8230; oh Lord&#8230; its overwhelming how many ideas I&#8217;ve got. And they&#8217;re all jacked up &#8211; waiting for me to complete &#8220;Inferno&#8221;.<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; What a bad girl I am &#8211; neglecting that sequel for so long.
