Continued

After many dreams and thoughts and drives, I believe I have in my head how to proceed.  I'm pretty sure it'll work and even give the reader a better view of the city and everything that is going on.  Poor poor Tristan.

Stuckish

The further I get in things, the more I realize how much I haven't thought through what's going to happen.  It's both scary and exciting.  Things can happen how they happen and that's fine.  But at the same time, I worry that the story might end up being too short/long/boring.  I've already hit a point where I'm really having to brain through what would happen with the characters and what implications that would have on how the story would unfold.  

I know where I want the story to end, but I wonder if it'll actually end up getting there.

Some thoughts.

The more I think about my story, the more I realize how much it falls under the genre of Cyber Punk.  Dystopia, check.  High tech machines, check.  Anti-hero, check.  I haven't put in some futuristic version of the internet yet though, so maybe I'm a little behind on the times.  

My main characters are Tristan, Ailly, and Marcus.  Not necessarily in that order.  

Tristan is one of a kind in this world of machine modded human beings.

Ailly and Marcus are running the show more than Tristan, who seems to almost just be along for the ride, yet is a key component in showing what is going on.

Current Length

As of now, I've written roughtly 9,000 words.  Which seems like a lot of words, but it really is so little of my story.  Which is good, because it'd be nice for it to end up being in the 400 to 600 page range.  Which is about 100,000 to 150,000 word range.  A long ways to go, but I'm looking foward to it.

On a roll again

I've had this story in me for a very long time and it's always wanted to find its way out of my skull.  I've started a couple times and always ended up quitting before I even got on a roll.  There have always been reasons for me to stop before I even started.  Sometimes because other things would come along that stole up far more of my time, or sometimes the opinions of people were more than I would want to deal with.  Luckily, this time I've recieved a lot of positive support and think it will actually happen.
