Haven't been updating the blog much in the last few weeks because I've gotten involved in a couple of Star Trek related fiction projects, both of which will take some months to gestate and which take up a fair amount of time.
While part of me is of the view that I should be creating original works rather than fanfic, mostly I'm enjoying the freedom and rich vein that an established universe offers: freedom to concentrate on plot and character over world building, and material to mine for story possibilities and texture.
And so far I've generated 12,000 words of prose, plus several thousand more in supporting notes, so that's gotta be a good thing.
Still spending way too much time at TrekBBS though.
