The Biomech Cycle
Started The Biomech Cycle shortly before Christmas in either '99 or 2000, I can't even find that out since the original version is on a completely other computer that is now stored in a closet. It was originally going to be a comic (OGN), but a lack of willing artist stalled it there. I spent half an hour tonight looking over the 1500 words that have been written, remebering the ideas and concepts and inspirations for it. 14 chapter, non liniar story line, fast chapters, all told I don't see the project being over 15,000 words and that'd be piushing it. It would be a style play in Science Fiction, from the same vein as James Joyce's Ulysses (not that I'm trying for the same high avante garde type stuff, it's just something I've always wanted to play with since I read the book.) I think I'm going to start playing with it more seriously in the next few weeks depending on work, get some of my artsy fartsy experimental juices flowing a bit since they've been slightly hamstrung with the other projects I've been fooling around with lately.

In other slightly related news, I finished one of the short stories I've been working on lately today, 200 odd words over where I wanted to be but with a bit of trimming it should be alright. (Although there's actually about a 1000 more words I could easily add to it.)
