Cool technology

So I downloaded the iBooks App and got free copies of about 15 books I intended to read for reference. Everything from traditional classics like "The Odyssey" and "La Morte d'Arthur" to Epic Poems like "The Volsunga Saga", "Nibelungenlied" and "Kalevata".

I had built this reading list when reviewing my favorite authors and learning what their influences were. It seems most of what I enjoy reading derives from Norse and Icelandic Mythology!

Character Backstory

I've used the techniques I read recently to flush out back story for two main characters. Much of this writing will probably not see the published page, but its existence adds depth and continuity to the characters. With their history in mind, it's easier to divine "what would he do here". These characters are evolving on their own it seems.
