The writathon is almost here. I am contemplating whether or not I should start a new book. 'Master of Dreams' has been on hiatus for awhile. I could definitely see myself picking it back up. But I think I want to start something entirely new.
The Writathon starts in a week. So get ready! I know the name of the MC I will use. But regarding their backstory and origin and even how they get their golden finger. I have not the slightest clue.
I wrote some prologues to explore the origin of their ability. But I wasn't satisfied with them. My standards are a bit higher then they were previously.
I had hoped that this current project would help me get into the habit of writing. In all honesty, it really has. I look forward throughout the day to coming home and writing a chapter.
It may not be the highlight of your day. But it is the highlight of mine.
Law of eldritch comprehensions commented an idea.
'Perhaps make the book from the perspective of a eldritch or higher dimensional being?'
That could be interesting. But I think those state of beings is a sort of 'endgame' of the story. I want to see the MC slowly build up to that level. If you guys have any ideas for the goldenfinger and origin of the MC. Feel free to comment!
It is a Writathon after all. So I will be publishing each chapter as soon as I write them. This means that there is less planning of the overall plot then usual. I had wanted to make an outline before it started. But it is so close and I have nothing written! But this also means the story is in a highly flexible state.
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Any random comment or interesting idea I see will likely greatly shape the direction of the story. Just like with 'Immortal' and 'Origin of Calamity'.
If you don't have any ideas. I recommend things like rules to the world or names. For example, I'm thinking the setting of the book will be in a world with people that awaken abilities.
As for what these people are called? I haven't decided yet. But if you have a good name. You can just comment it.
A fair warning. Everything is changing as I imagine this story in my mind. The world could end up being rather normal. It'll really depend on my mood and what I want to read/write.
I've recently read a few books with the concept of the MC being able to turn back time on death. Those are such fun concepts. But I don't know if I'd be able to pull it off and have it be interesting.
I think that sort of power is incredibly OP. So I probably don't want to the MC to acquire such an a overpowered ability at the start.
With John Destinatus. There was time shenanigans and various paradoxes at work. He had a lot of plot armor. Literally.
With this new character. I'm thinking his background and life will be rather miserable. The ability he will awaken will not be powerful.
But I also don't want to write too long about a random guy that is mediocre. You guys know that I am not a fan of MC's getting powers from no source.
In Origin of Calamity. The MC himself crafted his golden finger. In Immortal. It was an accident from his experiments. I want the MC to be proactive in gaining his opportunity.
In one of the prologues I wrote. The MC was simply sleeping and across the universe another civilization was wiped out from a dark matter experiment gone wrong. A stray tachyon particle hit our MC and fired off his neurons creating a new brain structure. This new structure in his brain gave him an ability.
This is in a rather ordinary world.
I scrapped this one. I felt his power was gained rather randomly and it lacked personality. I want the MC to 'earn' his cheat. I don't want to write about a normal person getting a system or some other cheat and then doing the usual faceslapping etc.
In another prologue I wrote. The MC gets the ability in a similar fashion. But it is combined with a event in his world. Basically, he has the ability from the new structure in his brain for a decade. Then gateways open up all around the world. But whenever you enter. You age extremely fast and can't escape.
The MC's ability is the ability to share the final moments of another person whenever he sleeps. From this, he gets to see a grand artifact inside the gateways and he survives since he wasn't physically there. This is supposed to transform his body in a certain direction.
But I scrapped this one as well.
My favorite one that I wrote that I also scrapped was rather interesting. It had the same characteristics as the other two. But the MC figures out that his dreams aren't happening in chronological order. He basically realizes that some of the deaths happened before he was born. Some would happen in the future.
Out of thousands of dreams. He recognizes the place and time of one of the deaths. He saves the person and then wakes up the night he had the dream. This is his self-created method of time travel.
I really liked this one... but meh.
If you guys have any recommendations. Now is the time to tell me!
