It has always been a dream of mine to write. I love writing more than I love anything else. It has seemed, however, that I cannot keep an idea down long enough to write more than sporadic chunks here and there.
This blog exists to help me retain the enthusiasm to carry out this singular idea, that has not gone beyond character development and plot/world construction for over three years. I hope that someone, somewhere, will take interest in these ideas I want to share with the world, follow it and hopefully gather a following that will give me the encouragement to keep going.
While Godhood is far from flawless, it has always been with me, since the day it started off as a vague idea inspired by the PS2 game Okami. Back then it was written for teenagers, with very little to it. I grew up in that first year and I realized what I wanted Godhood to become; a science fiction/fantasy series, not a teen fiction novel, the genre of which I abhor with a passion. I want it to be more sophisticated and more thoughtful than that, and as a consequence, I do not expect great things from it.
As a note, I would say that the gods and mythology from Godhood and the rest of the This Is How We Rise are inspired by the Shinto mythology of Japan. None of the gods are the exact Shinto gods, though the names and what they are god of may be, as well as their pasts and relationships.
