First off, I decided to write Night Fall, the parody novel of female vampire hunter "bad girl" protagonists, featuring Katrina Night. I even mocked up a fake book cover last week and posted it on Flickr, to help me visualize the book itself more clearly. I covered the various reasons why I didn't pick the other novel options a while back. I spent some of my post-surgery recovery time brainstorming and jotting down random ideas that have come to me, and man, I have tons of ideas for this. I'm actually having difficulty narrowing them all down, which is a good sign, I think.

One thing that came up over the past week or so, however, is the question "Why do NaNoWriMo at all?" Chuck Wendig actually did a good job playing devil's advocate over on his blog (which, if you are not reading, you should be), and I think it's good to spell out my specific reasons for doing this.

Thanks to everyone for being patient with the extra week. If you’ve been interested in what’s being going on with my health, you can check out the “health”-tagged entries on my LiveJournal. Otherwise, let’s dive into this.

Author’s Commentary

This episode poured out pretty easily. I had envisioned Mr. Rich acting in some advisory capacity to Six back before I started episode four, and this was a case where the voting just bore out where I was inclined to go anyway. I tried to keep this episode from being a bunch of exposition, but the inherent distrust between the two characters made that pretty easy — so easy, in fact, that I actually never really got to the exposition at all.

This actually ended up working in my favor, because I got to try something I’ve been wanting to do since I saw it on some other serial fiction sites — a poll with multiple options. Selecting what questions to ask Mr. Rich seemed like a natural use of that.

The check-up with the surgeon's office was very short -- mostly it was a cleaning of the extraction sites and a quick lesson in how to do it myself (twice a day). The nurse told me that actually I'm doing really well -- many patients can't really even open their mouths at this point, and nearly all of them are still on constant pain meds (I'm on one pain pill in the morning and the rest of the day on ibuprofin for the past couple of days). The pain, numbness and nausea are all common, especially with the number of extractions I had (apparently I had twelve novocaine injections for this surgery). I asked if I would be able to eat and talk around this time next week, and the nurse said that shouldn't be a problem, and if it is a problem, I should probably come in for another (free) post-op check-up.

I asked because next week is ICC. I also found out that I'm going to be working in the office for parts of ICC weekend -- probably all of Wednesday, and likely at least part of Thursday and Friday. That may also mean coming home Wednesday and Thursday night to make sure our pets are handled and fed, and so I can get up and go to work without bothering Michelle and David by waking up insanely early (by convention standards). So, I'm not going to be around as much as I've been at previous ICCs -- in fact, I think this ICC I'll be positively scarce until Friday evening. This does mean I don't have to rush Whitechapel, though, and I might even fudge my NaNoWriMo wordcount to start late next week instead of trying to cram it in on the Sunday of ICC.

Which reminds me -- I need to post about my NaNoWriMo plans. But first, I need to do the Whitechapel Post-Mortem.

Tuesday night, while I was playing Brutal Legend, I was struck with sudden and massive nausea. I went to lie down for a bit. I ate a little, and that seemed to help, but I went to bed very early. I woke up nearly 12 hours later, still nauseous and still exhausted, so I took another sick day from work and stayed home.

Today I'm feeling about where I was Tuesday morning (maybe a bit better, since I'm managing my pain with only ibuprofin). I have some nausea medication with me at work, just in case, and I have a follow-up with my surgeon this afternoon. I'm hoping to catch up on my Whitechapel post-mortem tonight, as well as catching up on some work today.

For some reason I thought this recovery would be a slam-dunk because I've been through so many surgeries, but I'm just moving back to an old coping mechanism -- taking it one day at a time.

I realized that while I mentioned this obliquely, I haven't actually talked about my recent surgery, or why I needed to have it. Let me correct that oversight now.

About a month ago, I went to a new dentist for a (long overdue) checkup. She took some X-rays, and said that all four of my wisdom teeth are sideways in my gums, and the lower two were pushing against my roots. She suggested that I get those two removed, and referred to me an oral surgeon. After I worked out the best time at work to take a few days off, I talked to said surgeon, and we decided to just go ahead and get all four removed so I don't have to do this again in a year or so.

The surgery was Friday. As far as I know, it went well -- I went to sleep and woke up with a sore throat and gauze in my mouth (which sounds much more interesting than it really was). Michelle drove me home, and I stayed in bed all day watching videos on my laptop and trying to find ways to swallow pills without opening my mouth too much. The next three days were an exercise in relearning how to chew, talk, and play video games while under the influence of pain meds. (Note: I have no idea how good it is while sober, but Brutal Legend is hella fun while on pain pills.)

Today I'm back at work. I'm mentally and physically exhausted, and I'm still not too far beyond eating soft foods, but I'm able to do more than sit on the couch and try not to accidentally bite my tongue. It might be another day or two before I do much more than get up, go to work, go home and lie on the couch for several hours, but I'm slowly ramping up to something approximating "normal." I'm going to have a post-op follow-up Thursday afternoon.

I looked over the poll results, and I did a lot of thinking about what I really want to write. (I even added a novel idea that I forgot about, got attached to it for a while, and then ultimately cut it.) Ultimately, I told myself that there's a decent chance that all of those will get written at some point, so I just had to decide what I really wanted to live with right now for a month straight.

The Bureau wasn't particularly popular, and I just spent a couple of weeks working on a superhero RPG anyway, so I cut that pretty quickly.

Writing two projects at the same time means I should probably diversify, or else I'll get sick of writing horror/mystery after November, which isn't fair to Whitechapel. That meant cutting As The Devil Drives and Do The Job (which was the professional wrestling/murder mystery idea I remembered after I posted last night).

Thy Kingdom Come was surprisingly popular (both in the poll and to me personally), but references to steampunk actually decided it for me. TKC was an idea I had long before the steampunk craze came along, because I love 19th century literature. However, I'm kind of sick of steampunk right now, and a check of my gut made me go "blech" when thinking about it. I do want to write that book at some point (maybe even next year), but I'm just not in the brainspace to do that now. If I were freelancing, I'd suck it up and deal with it, but since I'm primarily writing this for me, I gave myself a pass.

Besides -- I think I really want to stretch my skills and try comedy. And that pretty much narrowed the field to Terrifying Disappointment and Night Fall.

Both have some characters I'm intrigued by. Both have some rough basics of the background sketched out. Both have some vague plots in my head. And both have huge gaps of personal knowledge that terrify me. It's a balance of comfort and fear that's probably good for me.

Thanks to everyone who gave me their thoughts on this. Now I have to push this to the back of my head, read up on a couple of things, and lay the groundwork for next week, so I can make a decision and (if I decide I'm crazy enough to do this), start outlining and researching after my surgery.

A few quick things that Whitechapel readers might be interested in.

• Shadow Freak is the sorry bastard lucky winner of the Agent Mission contest. He (or someone with his name, at least) will be dying in a future episode of Whitechapel. Congrats, Freak!
• I recorded a short Whitechapel promotional piece for The Podge Cast, episode 60. It’s intentionally done in a slightly raw style (similar to my White Wolf Blogcast), but it’s around fifty-eight and a half minutes into the episode, if you’re interested. It was fun and easy to do, so I might send them more “hodges” in future. Many thanks to David Pinilla and the rest for letting me babble a bit about my baby!
• Finally, I’m seriously considering doing NaNoWriMo this year. However, I’m not entirely sure which novel I’m going to write. If you want to help me out, you can sneak over to my LiveJournal and vote on any options you like.

As a reminder, voting will be two weeks long for Episode 5, so get some friends to come over and vote on which questions Six should ask!

Between encouragement (well, mocking) from my family and a few people at work keen on the idea, I'm seriously considering giving National Novel Writing Month a try this year. Which means I have to start outlining... well, now.

I've actually wanted to try NaNoWriMo for about five years now, but I've never had a chance to. This year I actually do, and I have the energy for it as well -- Whitechapel has really gotten me excited about writing longer pieces of fiction. While I've written whole books before, I haven't ever even tackled a novel before, so this will be totally new to me.

That isn't to say that I haven't had ideas for novels all this time. In fact, I've had several. I've managed to narrow it down to five that I have interest in and notes for, but I'm having a hard time choosing, so I wanted to see what y'all thought. I won't necessarily go with the most popular option -- it might be that I look at that option and go "Ugh," which means that I really had my heart set on another idea and didn't realize it -- but it will help me boil my options down to one. Here are the "elevator pitches" for each, and any pros or cons against them.

• As The Devil Drives: A demon-possessed mobster runs afoul of a washed-up detective who has seen things most people won't believe. (Horror detective fiction) This is actually a novel I wrote a chapter or two on a while back, but I could never get moving on it. In feel it would be pretty close to Whitechapel, which means I might want to consider something a little different to change it up.
• Night Fall: A witty female vampire hunter gets caught up in the society of the local undead who are all idiots. (Comedic modern fantasy) This is actually what started the idea of NaNoWriMo going -- a parody of various female vampire hunter novels out there. Of course, this is pretty close to what I do for a living, so it's got a similar strike against it as "As The Devil Drives" in terms of mood overlap.
• Terrifying Disappointment: The salvage crew of the HCSS Terrifying Disappointment find that they are the only hope left in their sector of space against an alien menace. (Comedic sci-fi) I've been watching a lot of comedic sci-fi recently, so this idea is pretty fresh to me, but it would be two genres I've never done before.
  
• The Bureau: A group of empowered individuals work together in secret to defeat a race of dimensional creatures from taking over the world. (Modern pulp superheroes) This is a pretty old idea that I've been poking at again recently. I like the idea, but I'm not entirely sure if it's a novel or something else.
• Thy Kingdom Come: The War of Heaven comes to Earth in the late 19th century. (Dramatic alt history) Another old idea, and not something I've worked on recently, but I did a lot of research a few years ago, and I'm pretty sure I still have all those notes somewhere.

So, if you have a second, click on the titles you think are interesting/would be interesting for me to write/think I would have fun writing. You can choose as many as you want -- again, I'm not looking for hard data, but just collecting some random opinions to give me something to mull over and help me narrow these choices down.

(Note: Poll is not working for some, so if you can't vote, just toss your thoughts in a comment, tweet them to me on Twitter, or email me.)


Poll #1470098 What book should I write?
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 31

What book should I write for NaNoWriMo?

"Where do you get your ideas from?"

It's actually not a question I get a whole lot anymore. Maybe it's because people are starting to realize that it's become the most cliche thing you can say to a writer, or maybe it's because I tend to be known for working on licensed or collaborative products, and people assume I just don't have any ideas of my own. Anyhow, while I don't get questioned about it a lot, people certainly still seem confused by my relationship with the writing process.

As an example, last week I was at a LARP, but spent nearly two hours out of the game. Instead, I was sequestered in the tiny kitchen of the game site, scribbling ideas for a new RPG system furiously in my notebook and testing them out with playing cards and character sheets scratched out on the back of my own. Last night I sat down to just jot down a few ideas, and next thing I knew it was 1 in the morning, and the rest of my family was already off in bed.

I can see why people used to think that creativity came from a spirit or demon -- there are a lot of times when I feel an idea possesses me rather than gets created by me. Of course, it's still a lot of really hard work to get that idea from something rattling around in my head to something that can be seen, but sometimes the idea just sits in the front of my brain and will just poke at me until I sit the fuck down and do something about it. The interesting part is that the more I work on it, the more that other projects jump up and demand to be worked on as well. And when I get into a steady rhythm of writing daily, I find it harder and harder not to write daily. (This is why the first piece of writing advice you'll probably ever get is "Write every day.")

Let me give you a peek into the various projects I've been working on over the past few weeks. Note that this is all outside of my work writing:

• An RPG system based around teams of criminals put together for heists and con jobs
• Another RPG system (this time for superheroes) that's a mash-up between Fudge and 4C (which started as just some house rules for a potential Nextwave campaign)
• A superhero universe I've kicked around for years that might be part of said RPG, or might be used somewhere else
• Whitechapel episodes and promotion
• "Gloomy Sunday," the short story for the Close Encounters of the Urban Kind anthology
• More brainstorming for Katrina Night, my comedic vampire bad girl fiction (which, if I lose my damned mind, I might use for NaNoWriMo this year)
• A space opera universe (featuring the crew of the HCSS Terrifying Disappointment) that I briefly considered as an audio drama

Odds are pretty good that only a couple of these will actually see the light of day -- some of these are old projects that have been sitting on my hard drive for years, and there's easily another dozen or two projects to keep them company. But on the other hand, Whitechapel was one of those projects, and it's finally out and getting people excited, so maybe some day a few of these will be out in the open.

Whatever. The point is, my muse is trying to kill me. But what a way to go.

Previously on Whitechapel

Six escaped from his cell at the Whitechapel Project disguised as Dr. Tucci, one of the project’s employees. After leaving his prison, a black car pulled up that seemed strangely familiar, and Six was told to get in. During the ride, the mysterious driver referred to him as Dr. Tucci, but asked some unconnected questions, constantly keeping Six on the ropes. They finally arrived at Eden Park, where the meeting between the driver and Dr. Tucci was supposed to take place, and they found Tucci’s car wrecked on the side of one of the park’s roads. Inside the car was a corpse completely missing its skin. As Six examined the body, the driver shoved him against the car, put a gun to Six’s head, and demanded to know what happened.

Things still look good for releasing episode 5 of Whitechapel tomorrow. However, I have oral surgery late next week (I’m having four wisdom teeth removed), which means I’m going to be on pain meds and healing when I would normally be writing and recording episode 6. In fact, the oral surgeon specifically said “You’re not going to be able to focus or concentrate for long stretches while you’re recovering, and I’m pretty sure both are required for writing.”

Actually, we were talking about my day job writing, but the principle is the same. Also, I think I need my mouth to be working in order to record podcasts, since I haven’t figured out the “brain to computer” plug-in for Audacity.

On top of that, at the end of the month is the International Camarilla Convention here in Atlanta, which is a show I’m going to be working at all weekend. Even if I somehow kept the schedule on track around my oral surgery, that means I would have to try to write and record episode 7 around ICC, which is also pretty damned unlikely. (Especially since I’m going to try to record material at the show for my other podcast, the White Wolf Blogcast.)

To solve both problems, I’m going to bump the voting period for episode 5 to two weeks instead of one. This means that voting for episode 5 will close at midnight (EST) on Wednesday, October 21st, episode 6 will be available for reading and download on Wednesday, October 28th, voting for that episode will run until November 4th, and so on. I’m going to try to have my usual post-mortem post for episode 5 on the 21st, but we’ll see what shape I’m in at that stage. Think of it as more time to convince your fellow listeners to vote the way you think they should, or as me conducting research into blood, pain, and discomfort to help the story along.

A few months back, I talked about poking around with Inform 7 and working on an Agent Patriot text adventure. I realized recently that I'm not going to come back around to this -- I just have too many other projects going on to give this the attention it deserves. I learned a lot from working on it, but after repeatedly banging my head into walls with trying to get the system to do what I wanted, I've decided to abandon the project.

However, since the Agent Patriot universe is open under Creative Commons, I'm going to throw my cobbled-together code out to the Internet, in case anyone else wanted to pick up the project (or at least see how horribly I botched it). You can download it from my Dropbox account here:

Agent Patriot I -- Blitzkrieg: New Amsterdam

I also used Inform 7 to test out some of my initial ideas for Whitechapel. People really interested in the minutae of my process can check out the Inform 7 files for that project as well:

The Whitechapel Project

You will need to download Inform 7 to use either of these files. You should be able to just expand them, move the folders to Inform 7's "Projects" folder, and open the project in Inform 7.

There's a chance I might flirt with Inform 7 down the road, but I think I'll approach it with a story that's actually suited for the medium, instead of trying to work an existing piece of fiction into the IF format.

Welcome back, agents. Now that you have completed your basic training, we move to your first field mission.

But first, I want to take a moment to commend some of you on your exemplary initiative. Many agents have gone out of their way to spread the word about Whitechapel. Some have also donated time and resources to the site, and others have volunteered for the future. It’s great to know that we have such an enthusiastic team of agents ready to go, and if any agent is ever at a loss as to how they can help, there’s always the “Like To Help?” link at the top of every page.

Enough with the back-patting. We have some work to do.

Before I start, I need a moment.

Ahem.

HOLY FUCKING CHRIST I'M GOING TO BE PUBLISHED IN A FICTION ANTHOLOGY.

Whew. There. Now that that's out of my system, "Gloomy Sunday" has been confirmed as one of the stories in the upcoming Close Encounters of the Urban Kind by Apex Publishing. This is awesome for a couple of reasons: it's only the second time I've been paid for my straight fiction (the first was "Questions" for the Pseudopod podcast), and it's the first time I've been invited into an anthology instead of blindly submitting a story for consideration. I have a chance to do a polish and reformatting pass before the editor gives me redlines. And then, at some point in the future, the awesome happens.

But no time to slow down. I've been chugging along on Whitechapel, and I'm pretty pleased with how it's turning out. I've been babbling about my writing process on that project quite a bit -- you can check out my post-mortems if you're interested.

And because my brain doesn't have enough going on, I've been poking around with an older project for the past few days -- a weird kind of pulp superhero universe. It's something I've kicked around for a few years now, but it's been intermingled with some other projects in my head, and I'm in the process of slowly extracting them so I can focus on fleshing out those elements. Originally I had a few different OpenOffice documents that I was trying to keep notes in, but it was hard to keep track of all the interconnections, so I'm now putting all my notes into a TiddlyWiki page. My time running a Scion cycle on Obsidian Portal has helped me to think of ways to use a wiki for cross-referencing world information and characters. Of course, I don't have any plans to work on comic scripts or a superhero RPG, so I'm not entirely sure what I'll do with it just yet, but I'm sure I'll have some fun with it at some point.

Author’s Commentary

Over the past few episodes, I had fallen into a rhythm with writing episodes of Whitechapel: post-mortem on Wednesday (which, after last episode’s close voting, I’m going to probably bump to Thursdays to let the poll close before I comment), first 1000 words on Thursday, revision and last 500-1000 words on Friday, let it sit for two days to think over, and final revision on Monday before recording on Tuesday.

Things have been pretty busy 'round here lately. A couple of weeks ago I took on some new job responsibilities[1] which have involved a lot of learning new things. It also involved moving from an office with a Mac computer to a cube with a Vista computer. It's really exciting, and I'm enjoying the challenge, but man, shit be crazy trying to stay on top of things right around now. As an example, something that I thought would only take me a few hours over the weekend pretty much took up most of it. I'm still managing to keep a lot of balls in the air (like Whitechapel), but some other things have had to be put on hold for a bit while I settle into a new routine (like the White Wolf Blogcast).

When I've had a moment to reflect here and there, I've been poking around with more old-school gaming. NetHack and AngBand have been an entertaining distraction, and the sheer unrepentantly wacky fantasy has been surprisingly refreshing. Elf ninjas mixing it up with cyborg barbarians is just so unabashedly and unrepentantly fun. Sure, I still prefer games with strong narratives and deep immersion, but memories of Final Fantasy VII[2] and Thundarr the Barbarian[3] remind me of a time when I thought wearing sunglasses and a trenchcoat while wielding a katana actually was cool, and not just a stereotype.

So I've been flipping through everything from retroclone games like Labyrinth Lord and Basic Fantasy to loving parodies like Encounter Critical to actual classic game experiences like Rifts and red box D&D. Playing in a D&D 4e game at work has been helping to scratch that itch a bit, but I admit I'm not entirely sure if I really want to break out a new game to recapture the fun of wahoo fantasy, or if the idea of such a game is more interesting than actually playing one. Nostalgia is a fickle mistress.

I've also recently (and somewhat coincidentally) been watching a lot of comedic sci-fi: Red Dwarf, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (TV show), and Red Vs. Blue, which have been leading me to some ideas for a new fiction project... but that's later. Probably after Whitechapel is done.

Speaking of nostalgia, I've been slowly reconnecting with some of my old elementary and high school friends on Facebook. I mean, most people talk about using Facebook to find old classmates, but I didn't really look any of them up. They just kind of found me. And it's been a weird (but very pleasant) experience. It's all been coalescing into a stew of contemplation.

I finally picked up a copy of Shadows Over Baker Street after seven million people[4] expressed disbelief that I hadn't read it yet. Overall it's been enjoyable. Plus, right now it's a bit easier to read a short story in between things going on instead of trying to stay on top of a 2,000 page novel from George R. R. Martin.

Eh, that's that. Brain's dry.

Footnotes

Author’s Commentary

I wasn’t entirely sure how this episode was going to turn out, to be honest. When the vote was firmly cast for bluffing, I had to think about how he could actually do that in a plausible way. I did have a note that VI had the potential for changing his appearance, but I didn’t expect to have to trot it out so soon. Plus, I do have a firm vision for VI’s powers and how they work (in case you haven’t noticed, they all have intentionally violent overtones), so I had to make that all hang together while also being internally consistant. It was a lot to juggle.

About three months ago, I waxed poetic about how Google Docs were becoming an important part of my writing process.

Last night, I told Google Docs that I need to start seeing other people.

Don't get me wrong -- the idea of a robust online word processor appeals to me immensely. However, the main advantage it had was that it was available at both my work and home computer, and I could easily update in either place. I thought that all I needed was something that was more than Notepad but less than OpenOffice, and Google Docs seemed to be that.

But as I started using it more heavily, I began to notice problems. For some reason, OpenOffice exports from Google Docs are badly formatted: they always have the right margin at 0% (though the other margins are fine), and it assumes your default language is Russian. Correcting and reuploading the document doesn't change this problem, so everytime I get a fresh document I have to reformat it. I thought it was a problem with OpenOffice, but it happened on other computers as well.

Plus, it's not as simple as it lets on. There's still bits of code stuck in the documents. When I use highlighting, I can't turn it back off -- I can only turn it to white. But that white highlighting does carry over when you copy and paste it into WordPress. It even shows up on paper (very, very slightly).

Organizing documents is a bear sometimes, too. Even if I have it all tagged and foldered, sometimes Google stays stuck on the master list of all documents sorted by time updated, so I still have to wade around a bit. It's kind of nice to be able to tag documents into multiple "folders," but in the past three months I haven't had a need for that feature once.

Gears doesn't always work, either. A document I updated three weeks ago is still listed as "updated offline," even though I synced it three times. Which means I would be forced to use it only when I have an Internet connection, which is just not feasible. And Google isn't always available.

(As a side note, I briefly looked in Zoho, but when it took five minutes to export a document, I gave up before I started.)

The solution I now have is pretty simple: I have my entire writing folder on Dropbox. I don't anticipate I'll be doing any meaningful writing on a foreign computer (and if I do, Google Docs will work in a pinch), but Dropbox is installed on all of the computers I do use regularly, and will sync files between my computers each time I boot up, so my files are always up-to-date on each. If I'm offline, the files are still there, so I can still work on them -- they're not hosted in a cloud. And Dropbox and OpenOffice are both still free.

Further, I found out that OpenOffice can turn off a lot of functions to give it a simpler experience, so I can free-write for a while, and then turn things on and do heavy editing without worrying if Google Docs will actually GIVE me my fucking file this time.

It was fun, Google Docs, but I think you need to mature a bit before we could look at any kind of serious relationship.

A man known only by the roman numeral six wakes up in a padded cell. He discovers he has strange abilities when he turns his guard into a bloody mess just by thinking about it. Six makes his way into the empty office of a Dr. Harold Tucci, who turns out to be part of something called the Whitechapel Project. Six also discovers a stack of currency from a number of countries, as well as a pistol. He’s about to leave when an alarm goes off, and someone is knocking at the door.
