Something happened tonight that made me realize that my Super Zero story was becoming a chore. I put off writing it all day and thought about other projects. As I rethink my approach to the topic of school and being a kid again, I’ve come to the conclusion I would like to start up a couple other ideas in episodic form. Episodic has been helping me write these blog posts and today is no exception. Sometimes when things get tired, you simply have to put them to bed for a bit before they can come back well rested. You haven’t heard the last of Super Zero, but for a little bit, he is definitely tucked in.
I am always concerned with my writing, does it sound well written? Is it accurate to the age group I am trying to portray. After rereading my stories for Super Zero thus far, the boy sounds extremely well spoken for his age. This isn’t unheard of, but still, I find myself stretching to write the posts. Perhaps I write too much detail into his life and need to dial it back, but either way it will be revived later. I had some great ideas! If you’d like me to continue it sooner, rather than later, feel free to comment or email me. I know I’d love some feedback from the world beyond the screen.
Lately I’ve been considering writing my actual Superhero drama and another story about my take on the Fourth Dimension. Tomorrow’s post will be Unbiased Law for another episode, and then the next day I am going to attempt my hand at a thought provoking article about my ideas behind what the Fourth Dimension is, how it can be seen and how it relates to time travel. Some people just shuttered, and I respect that. Often times, Time Travel is a subject that can ruin an otherwise seamless world. Think about Harry Potter and how they spent one arc travelling back and fixing some issues from their recent past. It always leaves holes as to why that wasn’t used to save Dumbledore or Snape, or just simply go back and stop the revival of Voldemort.
Either way, I’ll give you the brief idea behind each story today and I’d love to hear some comments below on either one or both. I love feedback of any sort, so please, feel free!
“Unnamed Superhero Story” – A not so secret chapter of the military has brought together a rag tag group of ex criminals and heroes alike in the hopes they can stop crimes around the world. As pasts come to light, some heroes have darker sides and criminal backgrounds. Fighting to stop international crime, the group suddenly becomes torn when one hero’s drinking problem catches up with him and he accidentally puts one of the other heroes into a coma. The group divided and trying hard to stick together, the villains end up forging a shaky alliance to break the group up once and for all.
“Dimentia” – A psychologist travels to a psych ward to interview one of the patients who claims to see things far into the future and far into the past. Upon realizing this man can perfectly see everything from his perspective throughout history, she takes him into her care to find out more about her own past as well as help him cope with his issues. As the man attempts to focus solely on his psychologist’s past, he finds himself actually travelling through time depending on what he is focused on. Unnerved and lost, the man must somehow find his way back to the present and avoid damaging the past.
Those are the two ideas I have been tossing around in my head. With the superheroes I would love to explore issues with them such as how a hero would deal with poverty, failure, depression, injury and many other bigger issues that I would love to see normal comic books tackle. Some already have been, but not too in depth. Also with Dimensia that is not a typo, the spelling is a play on dementia and dimension, and I like to think of it as a rather unique title. I would love to have a secret society throughout history devoted to its preservation, but I’m not sure if it will fit in too much. In fact, I could probably cut the time travel out completely and still make for a good story between a psychologist and her patient.
For now I’d love to hear from you and what your opinions are on these two ideas and the fact I’m putting Super Zero on hiatus. I will probably alternate these two ideas in Super Zero’s slot as I have found Unbiased Law has actually become quite the hit bringing in my busier days while Super Zero almost drives traffic away. Take care and thanks for visiting!
