New Project in the Works

April 13, 2009 · Posted in General, Writing 

Working on some ideas for a new sci-fi story.  The plot I’m working with is probably already a little over-done, but I’m having fun with it and that’s the main thing I’m looking for right now.  I’m thinking about running it as a serial here on the blog — that’s the way I’m sketching it out right now, at least, as a series of “episodes” instead of chapters.  Puts it in a different light, that’s for sure.

As I said, the plot’s probably a little over-done — colonizing a planet, basically — but I’m hoping to focus on the human elements more than the science in this story (i.e. emphasis on the “fi” in sci-fi), and hopefully that’ll bring a slightly different spin on it.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure that’s been done more than a little bit as well.  But think about it — how many times do you hear the same, basic plot line(s) retold with different settings and characters?  Besides, I’ve never really strayed into sci-fi yet, and it may be fun.

Okay, enough trying to rationalize it to myself.  I need to start getting ready for work.  Catch you on the flip side.
