I turned on our old computer today. I found some pieces of a story I was writing with two of my friends. It fell apart after massive arguments, mostly over the alien that was attacking the earth. We had name's, people, places, entire planets created for this. And then one guy ruins it because he's to obstinate to even consider changing something about the aliens. Raaskaan they were called. I liked the characters.
Just the names are now outdated. I'm a huge fan of the name Johnathan Hayes and Michael Grace. Anna was one of the names, so was ummm... Jordan Moore. Anna and Nehemiah Something. Mark "Moses" Something. Levi Green the evil guy.
Then there was Micheal's people. See the people I had, called UniTE ((United Territories of Earth) credit for the name goes to Saunders ) Had left earth because they were losing the war against the Raaskaan. Micheal's guys stayed on earth. One was called Allan Ruiz. The leader. There were six main characters. Allan, Neil, Celia, and some others I don't remember. One of them died looking at a Raaskaan super-weapon. Which was a super storm. And I think me and Micheal argued about UniTE killing one of them. But they had weapons called Shredder's which took metal shredded it and ejected it at high velocity. Rudimentary shotgun SMG.
I enjoyed creating that. It's a pity it fell apart and I lost all my work.
Well the post's called 'The last in a long line for now" here's why. If I can get this concept moving, flowing. A few chapters maybe, then I'll keep writing. But if I can't I'm stopping for a while. Take a break for a while.
I have no idea how it's going to turn out. With Micheal we each had characters. Enough for a novel each. I'm not going to be able to manage that. So I have to make a decision. Do I ask Micheal to get back on board? And that's assuming he says yes. Or do I cut some of our characters. The people I don't remember would definitely go. Some people would get new names. I'm not renaming Allan or Jordan. Yes that sounds a bit self righteous to have a character named Jordan but I didn't come up with the name and It's one of the two I completely remember.
Anyway. I would say wish me luck. But I don't need luck. It's all there. I just need to find it again. Perhaps you should wish me guidance.
In the name of the Emperor, Finish this!
