Scrapbook 2

Over the last few days I’ve been committing to paper a long chain of thought that, I hope, is going to serve as the basis of the biggest writing project I’ve ever undertaken.  I’m not plotting yet, just working on a setting that I hope to develop exhaustively before I embark on the actual story.

I’ve never done anything like this before, and I’m planning it out in a totally different way to my other projects.  Time, as ever, is the enemy of progress, and working on several things at once certainly doesn’t speed any of them along.  On the other hand, the ideas are arriving thick and fast and wild, and I’m enjoying them as they come into the light.  Below are a few current pieces of inspiration.
