Here’s where I will be posting the work I’ve been doing on my little writing project. I say ‘little’, but this is the work of the past couple decades. It all spawned from an idea I had in high school, a character simply dubbed “Nameless Girl”.
A nonhuman, vaguely elfish child of unknown origin and incomprehensible motives. Her one defining trait, aside from the pointy ears and big ol’ snoot, is her obsession with small shiny things.
Yeah. Not exactly Star Wars. But it was a beginning of something.
Time goes by, and the idea never fully leaves my head. New characters and ideas come and go. Some stick around and build on what’s already there, often changing and evolving with time. Some of this I write and sketch out. A lot just stays in my head, more likely to fade away rather than catch fire. But a lot stays, and keeps changing and growing. I begin writing more and more, just bits and pieces here and there. But all connected, all building towards something bigger.
As things came together and began to make some hint of sense, it became clear to me that this wasn’t going to be just a small fable. I had spun an entire race of people from this one child, and from them another world. Other races. Technology, culture, religion, politics. So many names. It was becoming apparent that I had a choice here; either nip this in the bud and scrap all of it, stop wasting my idle moments on childish imaginings; or I could commit to it, put the already scarce spare time and energy I have into this idea.
Well, it can be assumed that I went with the latter, judging by me writing this wall of text. Suffice to say it hasn't been easy, but I think I'm ready. Here is where I'll be posting my work for folks to see. I make no promises as to regular updates, only that I will post when possible, if even a little blurb or slice of the world.
