Alrighty then...

I have my book...it is actually one I started a while ago and really liked the characters and premise and I think it is my most orginal idea. One of my big issues I have with myself is that my 'ideas' are very unoriginal and all I have are my characters. Well dammit, the characters are what make a story alive. Heck even Star Wars (the original) had the same basic plot as many stories in the past only the setting and characters changed. Han Solo made me a Star Wars lover, but I always liked Star Trek better. The ideas, stories and characters seemed more alive and real than any Star Wars movie. I know I shall not blaspheme the name of George Lucus, but in all reality how good was it?

Take Lord of the Rings {excuse me whilst I wipe the drool from my chin} and how wonderful the book{s} and movie(s) are told. I can get dizzy thinking about them. That is what I'm shooting for not some run of the mill story with exacting plot and paper thin characters. Let me delve (I like the word delve it seems) into people so readers care and want to know more, not bore them. Guess if I'm going to shoot for the stars I need to take aim at one of the masters huh?
