Story Projects
I day dream most of the time I’m not coding, which includes spacing out at work. Over the years I’ve been switching between multiple different stories that have allocated a lot of back story and events.
The problem has always been how to take what I remember and write it out. With practice and starting to write out what I have, I should have some great stories that play out over the course of writing for 7 years.
Quest For Magic: Vincent
This is probably what I’ve spent the most time on and I have multiple drafts detailing different events. I’m going to start the story much later or focus more on the school life for the first several chapters or the first book at least. The problem has always been for me that I find it hard to write a lot about the school events. However, there are events that I have set in motion for the main character that could be better played out during travels or field trips.
I also detail a lot of traveling, almost in real time the events and travels. I need to switch over to only telling the events and descriptions that the reader needs to know and not extra crap that no one cares about.
Obiturary Of Josh
The reason why I choose the name Josh was because I didn’t know anyone named Josh and it was a good name. However, afterwards I have met people named that and this story isn’t about them. It is about life lessons and death, either from suicide and from murder. Josh is the main character which, so happens does die towards the end. It isn’t giving away that Josh dies, it is the reasons, the purpose, and the lessons that go with it.
I have planned for this to either be serialized in comic or manga form or in a book. If I can find artists that are willing to work for free on the project, then I’ll go along with the comic, if I can either color it myself or find someone to color, or manga, which is black and white.
I plan to try to write the comic for a year and see how many pages I have. If I have scripts for at least a 100 pages, then I’ll start looking for artists. I do have a few drafts, but I’m not going to post them and would rather post the new content.
Spirit Keeper
Spirit Keeper is a manga project that kind of disbanded, but I’m going to pick up where I left off and try to write out a story. Like Obiturary of Josh I want to have at least a 100 pages, before I start looking for any artists. The reason for it, is so that I have something to show where the story beginnings and to show that I’m serious about the story coming together.
Unlike Obiturary of Josh, I have no plans to write a book about the characters. It is more of the team’s story, than mine, so I can’t take credit for every thing in the story to be able to write a book.
