I've started something new. Again. It's having to be longhand as neither of my old laptops are suitable for use (one has a cracked screen, the other overheats and dies after even a reasonable time of use). So it's back to the notebook. Problem is, I fleshed out the setting and a whole load of the characters on the computer, so I have to hope I remember everything. (I could print it out, but how interesting would the world be if it was that simple? Besides, I never remember to when I'm near a printer.)
I have a main character. I kind of like him, but he needs more personality.
I have antagonists, but they're all deliberately ambiguous.
I have some of a setting, but not enough.
I have a starting point for the plot, but nothing else.
*sigh* Time to put in some legwork. Hopefully I won't get any other awesome and pressing ideas before Script Frenzy, at which point I will have inevitably given up, so I can quite happily try to write 100 (or 50) pages of a form at which I am not very good. I sort of hoped this idea might hold out for a graphic novel script, but honestly, it suits being a novel so much better. Bits of it work fine as a novel, but the core plot is a bit dull for it. Maybe forcing myself to go onto campus for hours before and after work might help.
