In the interest of finding some sort of ambition in my life (without needing a stabbing from a friendly nausican), I've started on a new and highly ambitious new story. If things pan out this will be a novel length undertaking.

I've yet to actually start the story, so far I've completed a list of characters (including some info on each one) and gotten part of the way through the plot plotting. I'm sure I'll probably end up deviating at least somewhat from the original info I come up with but I want to have a fairly clear direction so the story doesn't end up getting hopelessly muddled and off-track.

I'm not going to say much about the story itself other than that it's in the fantasy genre and uses an idea I've had kicking around for a while now (I actually mentioned having the idea (without giving specifics) on this very blog when I first had it).

I don't plan on letting anyone know any specifics until the project is well. It's such a large and ambitious project that if I even suspect someone thinks it's a crappy idea I could lose my drive and the story will die before it gets a chance to really begin. I've written lots of short stories but the vast majority have been 10 pages or less (I'd guess most are under 5) so to attempt a novel is an extremely daunting task. It's something I feel I need to do though cause I know I certainly don't want to spend the rest of my life as a phone jockey.

Bustin got this one. I'm surprised it was left up for grabs as long as it was.
