New Project

Journal Entry: Wed Nov 7, 2007, 1:13 PM
Circa 1996, I discovered a game. This game is called Escape Velocity, and the general concept was a space-based adventure in which the player could do whatever the hell they wished, with various storylines open to them against the backdrop of a galactic civil war.

Circa 1997-8, I began writing a story based on this game, and over the next 9-10 years would return - sporadically at best - to add to and modify this story. When The Maker's Mark was published, I decided I'd like to revisit this story with a view to eventually getting it published too. To do this, I decided it would need to be rebuilt from the ground up - to move it away from the realm of fanfiction and give it a consistent style (I'd like to think my writing has improved substantially over the last 10 years or so).

Thus, the new project is born. The book is currently being planned under the working title "Blind Obedience", and while it's still in the very early stages, I'm starting to write some background pieces for it which will often be popping up here. Everything I write that is set in this world/galaxy/whatever will be uploaded under the heading "The Unity Chronicles", as I'm considering writing more than one novel set there, and it strikes me as a good name for the series (if series it becomes).

That's it.
