Location and A Short history of Myth

Trying to think a plot for the vampire story. Basically where it is going to be set. There needs to be a reason for it. Although, it could always just happen in the place. But I think I should at least make an effort for some attempt at a reason.

Finished reading 'A Short history of Myth' by Karen Armstrong. Very interesting study, that makes you wish that the writer could be given space to expand it.

Convention worries and more paradoxes

I’ve been feeling down of late. A large part of it, is that a couple of conventions are looming and I’m getting worried that I haven’t got anything to submit to editors, or have read all the relevant books beforehand. I realise that I may be the only person who thinks like this. I have not signed up for any sessions for pitching anything, or having to interview anybody. I am not going to have to take an exam, when I get there, so I should not have to worry.

Trying to work on idea for a story, I’m having a problem with the Grandfather paradox. You can’t kill your own grandfather, but your grandchild could kill you, after you have caused it to be born. There should be a reason, for why this can’t work, but I can’t think of it.
