Wow. Before you know it, we'll be down to single digits. After that, we'll be counting words. After that comes Thanksgiving, Christmas, death, etc.
Concepts are coming together in what I'm still calling Chronomaly. I've got a much better handle on my lead character's look and personality, due in part to me watching quite a few episodes of Doctor Who and Torchwood over the weekend. The plot and supporting cast still needs work but that's what the next two weeks are for. I've spent a fair bit of time thinking about the steampunky 1920's timeline where Tommy originates from so I figure I'll have to have my characters visit it for some reason.
One notion I'm going to play with in the story is that events in one timeline have echoes in the others. For instance, the invasion from H.G. Wells's War of the Worlds really happened in Tommy's timeline and contributed to his world's advancement, something the Wells in our reality subconsciously sensed and wrote about.
Another concept I'm going to explore is the Doctor Who/Peter Pan connection I mentioned a few weeks ago. I think Tommy's ruined more than a few people's lives by taking them adventuring in the timestream, not to mention some things he did he's not too proud of when he first got access to time travel technology.
Sad to be wishing my life away, but still, I can't wait for November! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds really good, sir. I'll have to give it a read when you're done - if you're willing to pass it along.
ReplyDelete@Trisha - don't say that! There's still some prepping and pondering to do!
