Christ PI is back!
As I write this, I am at Nano's overnight writing event for the month (Obviously I'm taking a little break from the actual writing to write this).
My story was stuck in a limbo for a while there. I liked the idea, I liked the character, I liked what I had written, but the plot just wouldn't materialize, no matter how much I yelled at it. So tonight, I tried rebooting with a totally new idea (the 9000ish words I had written for the other story still count towards my total), but (while I loved the idea) I was having a hard time getting the story started. So a couple hours ago, I just said, "The hell with it" and started a new Christ PI story.
Oddly enough, I'm not writing an earlier entry in the series (I had always said if/when I write another Christ PI book, I'd do the first book, detailing how Christ (or at least a guy who thinks he's Christ, it's left ambiguous as to whether he is really Jesus or just thinks he is) became a private investigator in the first place). It's actually set a while after the events of the last book instead. It's going really well so far (I've written almost 4000 words so far tonight) though I'm not entirely sure where the plot is going (Jesus and company have been invited to a secluded mansion to solve something, though I really don't know what the something is yet. Hopefully I'll figure it out by the time they make it to the mansion). Anyway, I should probably get back to writing; I just thought I'd take a little break from the writing (by writing something else. Probably not the most effective means of taking a break).
