Okay, I'm being lame and completely redoing yesterday's journal... but only because I put it up in the first place in order to rant about the beetle so I could sleep.

So... new topic; girly stuffs! (not really, guys can like them too) I'm in a unicorn, pegasus, dragons, griffons kind of mood.

So I was looking at DA unicorns and you know what I saw? A snowstorm. The place was overrun with white unicorns! I got lucky a couple times and found black unicorns or even zebras (Black and white!). You know what my favorite unicorn was? I saw it in a movie (well, duh -of course it was in a movie!) but the unicorn was... ugly. It wasn't a nice solid color or any of those ' pretty' colors, it was sort of mottled between two shades of brown with a kind of rough boney horn. I loved it, in my mind it was the most wonderful unicorn anyone could come up with. Why don't we see more of those? I love interpretations of unicorns as nothing more than horses with horns, why does the more popular version have to come standard with rays of sunshine, sparkles, rainbows and fairy princesses?

Pegasus; same thing. Horn optional.

Dragons; yes please but hold the cutesy ones. I love almost any kind of dragon, I'm not too partial to any of them (Other than Thatcher )

Griffons. It's interesting seeing people fight with them. Personally I haven't found a particular design that I like. The ones that somehow come out with a snake neck confuse me but otherwise: If it's a winged lion with the beak and forelimbs of an eagle okay...

Guess what genre I'm trying to write for National Novel Writing Month?

So give me ideas; what are your favorite mythical creatures? Anything not on the list would be greatly appriciated because I can't afford writer's block on this story.
