Why does this sound better when said with a British accent?
Can you imagine someone from the American south saying this?
Weird.

More organizing and creating back story for some antagonists.
The annoying part is finding different files with similar histories that I have to combine and re-write.
I found one reference I had no idea who it belonged to. Tracking that down was tiring.

A slow, but good day.
I realized I didn't have a detailed file on an antagonist, so I used various sources to create one.
Sometimes, I forget that the files in my head aren't on my computer.

Made some good progress on my antagonists.
But the hardest thing is keeping their histories, and when they intersect, intact and accurate.
Still fun though.

Time for my weekly drop-in to Bluesky to see what new... exciting... honestly, just keeping my profile active.
I've other places to go...

Back into the Infinatum.
Today: Set in late Victorian Era London, a team of unusual individuals solve mysteries outside Scotland Yard's purview.
It's X-Files, Penny Dreadful & steampunk.
I do enjoy generating ideas & characters inspired by turn-of-the-20th century sci-fi, pulp heroes, & history.

Dove back into the Infinatum, finishing up work on an idea that I updated a few weeks back.
Although not "finished", it is finished enough to leave it be and move onto other things.
The pic is an old one from my Writing Lair, but I always have observers, & pop culture-y things, watching me work.

Finally did some work on the Infinatum.
Melded 2 different ideas. One was an ancient underwater civilization populated by mythological sea creatures, based on the Greek & Maori. The other, prehistoric kaijus seeking a home for their dying culture.
Plenty of research & development.
A good day!

Sadly, this is true.
I fear the answers that will be given then, if they are aloud to speak about it, or learn about it.

Finally, worked on a new blog!
Hope you check out "The Internal Compass", posting Friday.

I sometimes dismissed such days. I wasn't "writing". But creating/ developing the history & depth of a character, especially one that will become a major player/ foe, is important. He's gone from being just a "bad guy" to being relatable, motivated & "human".
THAT, to me, is vital.

Today in The Infinatum Studio...
The idea I had this morning, I wrote down so I wouldn't forget, and...
promptly went on a side quest to fill in some back story for the idea.
Tomorrow, Productivity is a go!
Writing new blog.
Work on the antagonist idea.

Then holiday Monday: vegging!

A good day.
Fleshed out a major antagonist & updated related details.
Discovered I had changed a character's name, but forgot why! Hahaha!
I eventually got the info on the character... and realized I didn't like the name. Found a better name that's easier to say and pronounce... and spell.

Today's creative output brought to you by caffeine and sugar!

When doing research for an idea, especially one set in the past, it is always intriguing to learn about history, and how much we really don't know... thus making it prime material and setting for a sci-fi/ alternate history story!
January 25, 2025 at 9:48 PM
I do enjoy creating the mythology for the Infinatum.
I've been doing it for a while and sometimes, I come up with better ideas, or something that adds more depth.
The downside, is when I discover discrepancies.
Today was "discover discrepancies" day!
To be fixed... tomorrow.

Welcome to the 21st century!

True story.
January 8, 2025 at 11:54 PM
Started updating a timeline... ended up creating an idea for another story, one where it is very much like our world, except one being keeps all the secrets and super-powered things in-line.
So... typical writing/ creating day.
January 4, 2025 at 9:57 PM
Finally did some work on some antagonists.
Today's bad guy went from some muscle-bound career criminal into a more relatable monster... a charismatic racist with a cult following who can channel extra dimensional evil.
His first name is Donald... hahaha, but that's where the similarities end.

Today in the Infinatum...
Needed a dictionary of my made-up words, so I started that today.
Updated a character, his history & added notes to the file to update/ create new supporting characters. Also scouted some real-world locations & history of the Aboriginal people nearby.
December 28, 2024 at 8:43 PM
Oh!
Umm...
Hi.
