Holy shit... you know, it's been upwards of 5 years since the last time I actively blogged? That was back when people actually still used site like Xanga...
Anyways, so here it is, the NEW blog of one Stephen Gillespie (that's me). Largely this is going to be used as a diary of a new endeavor I FINALLY got around to working on. After having talked about doing so for, oh I don't know... 12 years? Something like that anyways... I'm starting work on a novel.
As of writing this, I'm about finished with the first chapter, and have the next two plotted out. Not 100% sure on where exactly this is going to end up storyline wise... but I do have some ideas. I'm trying an approach where I build the book up only a few chapters at a time. I have a lot of my characters designed (nearly 40 of them thus far) some more so than others, and some may not actually play any active role. I'm not going to go into too much detail just yet, but I will post some snippets from time to time.
What I will tell you is that the overall setting in this is going to be the war between Heaven and Hell. I'm hoping to be able to play around with a lot of ideas that I have about religion as a whole. I'm going to incorporate a lot of other religions into it in various ways. So as to help process the HUGE amount information out there in the field of religious mythos and lore, I've secured the aid of a good friend of mine (one Devon Scott), who's a very well versed Religious studies major (I'm pretty knowledgeable, and he can run circles around me). Things are shaping up nicely though, even if a little heady at times.
So I think that's about it for now. Thanks for checking this out, keep and eye out, you never know what I might drop in here.
