This weekend, wrapping up some Infinatum mythology.
I tend to have an idea, develop it enough to carry forth...
then realize I need to flesh it out so it doesn't seem thin as hell...
THEN create waaay too much mythology & adding connections to actual history if possible.
... but it's a lot of fun!

Another day in the Infinatum, organizing the deeds and allies of mad scientists and power-hungry rulers, all believing their cause is necessary and just.
If I can't understand and sympathize with what they do, they're just... meh.

I've been going over old files that need serious updating.
That's my mission next week.
I want them current so I could use them to foreshadow something that may pay off much later.
So, when the stories are read, people will go "holy shit! Is that connected?!?! How?!?!"
You'll see. 😎

A slow day, but still productive.
The hardest part is double-checking my mythology when I come up with a new idea, to make sure I haven't already come up with it before, and how to fit it into everything else.
It's hard, but kinda fun.
It also reminds me that I have accomplished a lot already.

I haven't spent a day on the Infinatum in weeks! So it was cool today to delve back in and go down the research rabbit hole looking up information and locations.
Have to admit, Google Earth is pretty damn handy.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.
