I have thought long and hard of ways to simplify the overall story of the Eternal Dusk, which at present encompasses 3 distinct story arcs supported by almost 50 supporting characters. This is already simplified from the four main storylines that made up drafts 0-2 of the story, but still complex enough to really make me scracth my head as to how to connect the dots from Chapter I to the end of the story.
A thought I’ve had as a result of concept planning for Small Press Idol this year was to focus more on the back story of ED such as how Liege Lord came to be and the story of his parents. I took that a step further and began dwelling deeper into the origins of their powers and how they were chosen by fate to play an important role in history. A role that unfortunately led to the birth of ED’s main protagonist, Liege Lord and his agenda of death and destruction.
Not sure how this may play out, but the revised idea is helping to give me a lift in deciding what to do with this story and how best to bring it to fruition.
In non-ED news, my 2008 Small Press Idol pitch with Mark Oakley is ready to go. Who-Hoo!
