Murphy's Stunt Double:
Actually.....

I'll send a PM

Craz:
This sounds like a truly sweet plot. Wish I'd thought of it. XD

Take something that happened in real life, and then flesh it out to see how it could have happened if magic was involved along the way, trying to stay as true to what happened in reality as possible. Quite a challenging way to stretch my abilities. Try it.

If you haven't already, check out Dan Simmons' "The Terror". You just described it to the proverbial "T". Good stuff.

Murphy's Stunt Double:
Cool! Thanks, I will!

Like close to it or the feeling?

Anyway, I just had a thought.  Since I have the new human race all written up and set in stone for myself to reference to, I need some guidence so I can start writing this thing.  In thinking of three ways to start it:

1) Create the character(s), plan out the plot line, then write it.

2) Weite out the plot line, create the character(s), and write it.

3) Wing it by writing the whole thing for a year and edit the book for a year.

If anything helps that I didn't mention, please let me know.
