I'm not sure exactly how many of you have read the chapters I've posted here, but if you have, I felt i should tell you that I'm probably not going to keep writing the storyline i have going. The way it flows moves far too quickly for the beginning of a novel, and there's far too much that has to be explained to the reader that doesn't come through in the story.
I do like the characters I've come up with, but I think I'll be doing away with a few of them. Pretty much the Bolgart and Calas. David, Jericho, Christopher, and Turkish will all remain, but I'm going to take some time and really think about the world they inhabit, and the roll of their organization in their world. Along with a lot of other things that just need to be tweaked and defined.
Actually, I'm fairly excited about the new beginning. The Drifter book began life as a movie script, changed to a OGN (Original Graphic Novel), became a short-story, and is now, obviously, a novel. And fitting with the form it's now in, I need a story that fits with that form. A 300 page extension of a 50 page short just won't work. So, I've go a lot of work to do. I think I posted as much as I wrote in the current version here, so if you want to go check it out, it's there to be found. Hopefully, I'll have something new to post soon.
