Story seeds

Even though I am focusing on my Tikki's Giant comic at the moment (see DragonFUZE Comics for more information), ideas for Enshae: Phayrie Seekers keep coming. I have most of the opening of the story plotted out in my head, and I really like where it's going. I can actually watch the opening scene in my head as if I were watching a movie; this part of the story is so clear in my mind.

The opening of the story will see the return of a long-missing character and revelations about the evolutions in phayrie society in the time that the character has been gone. This part of the story will immeadiately set the tone for the whole tale and in particular for the type of world the phayrie live in.

On a side note, I am currently reading Keeping It Real by Justina Robson. The book is part 1 of a longer series called Quantum Gravity. Justina is an accomplished SF writer and this story is a unique fusion of SF/ fantasy concpets. I am about half way through the book; it's thrilling and inventive. I am hoping some of this will rub off on me as I continue to put together the story for Enshae: Phayrie Seekers.

Hitting the keyboard

I just got back today from a short beach holiday over the new year period. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great so we didn't hit the beach anywhere near as much as we had hoped to. Being locked indoors drove us crazy enough to head home two days early, but it also gave me the chance to bang some keys on this story. The plot is coming together nicely and I am happy with the definition of good and evil in my story... Enshae: Phayrie Seekers is heading into story territory I never intended to cover, so I am enjoying the journey...
