I'm currently reading this anthology inspired by the most daunting stories of star-crossed lovers in literature. This book just drew me in when I first saw it in the bookstore plus it was edited by George R. R. Martin and Gardner Dozois. Fuck allowance. I just grabbed the book and headed to the cashier.

I just want to clarify that this post is not a book review although I can say that I am raving about the beautiful and hypnotizing short stories compiled in this book. I would also go as far as to say to you, reader of this post, to get yourself a copy. The stories are a mixture of science fiction, fantasy, and romance with the right amount of angst you get from reading stories about ill-fated couples that have to struggle against magic and fate. Ugh. I want to slap myself. Okay this is not a book review because if it is, then I would really have to sit down on it and review each and every story written in this book. I want to do that really but work is calling me. /sadface

Reading this book made me want to take up that writing dream again. The stories inspired me to craft something with a theme similar to the book; the star-crossed lovers centering the story. Although, the plot I have in mind wouldn't end up in a happy note. I'm currently working on the plot holes and the different elements that I want to utilize in the story since the setting would be Manila. This is a big project for me since it would be my first official story since I've given up my writing stint and I have to admit I've become a bit rusty in some places. The story will definately be posted here in Galactic Musical Frissons but it would probably be by next year. :)
