Well, here we are at last friends. Spring Break has arrived. I was so frazzled when I got home, I seriously thought about passing out for the entire weekend. But I’m not going to. I’m going to get started on my writing and try to get something done today.
I haven’t gotten any writing done during the last four days, but I have been looking through projects that I’ve started and never got back to– some of which I had forgotten. I might just post the pieces that I have written, since I don’t think I’ll ever do anything really with them. There are what I thought (at least at the time I wrote them) some good concepts. Here’s a sample:
The Olympian gods awake suddenly on an alien world, unaware of how the arrived, and are pitted against similarly powered alien gods.
Famous people appear in “purgatory” after their death, where they fight a war. The two main characters are Albert Einstein and gunfighter Clay Allison (no relation).
A young woman is kidnapped and held hostage, but is helped by a mysterious “ghost” who has a very limited ability to interact with the real world, but seems to know all about her.
I don’t know. Any of them sound interesting to anyone out there?
City of Amathar 
Purgatory and ghost story’s sound good! 🙂
I’ve actually thought of working the ghost story into the Blood Trade sequel, because it fits as far as tone and style, but then it doesn’t match the plot. Maybe in a third volume.
The “purgatory” story-line sounds a bit, in a broad sense, like “Riverworld” …
That said, it can still be worked into a good story.
I haven’t actually read Riverworld, though of course I am familiar with it. Yes, I know I should read it…. I’m bad. My story would have relatively few characters (well, less than the 36 billion of Riverworld). I think my take would be quite a bit different– less sic-fi and maybe more religious. Though I’m sure some of the same themes would pop up, as they always do.
