Developing New Ideas

I’m working on developing a whole new intellectual property, or IP for short. Basically a whole new world to fill with characters and a new story to have in that world. It’s a lot of fun, and one of my favorite things to do. I get pretty exhaustive about it, too. Those who know me can attest. I believe that the best world has no stone unturned. That way stories told there won’t miss opportunities to make themselves more believable, more cohesive, through depth. the more you know about a place, the better the stories you can tell about it!

I’m running into a bit of writer’s block, though. It’s the Tabula Rasa, or however you spell it. The blank slate. There is so much to close from; So many colors I can slap onto my canvas, that I am kinda overwhelmed with choices. I’ve been trying to narrow it down, but I am finding it mighty hard to commit.

It’s also why I haven’t finished anything this week. (Plus I had an awesome wedding to attend. That ate up some time…) What am I supposed to finish? What do I start? It’s a  conundrum. I’ll tweet about things as I figure it out.
