Well...

Y'know, I was thinking about it, and I actually think I could get into something like that...

Remember one of my previous entries, where I answered the question about what creative or artistic thing I'd do if I had the opportunity, or something like that?  And I mentioned how I'd like to create something like a light novel series?

I think I could actually pull something like that off.

I've been taking walks every day, and I've been able to think about things to do, and for some reason, I'm able to unravel an entire plotline in my mind for this story I've thought up.  Now, granted, I'm not sure how interesting it is to other people, but it's still something, right?  And while it may have some tangential similarities to some other shows, it really is quite stand-alone when it comes to content (haven't seen anything close to it since SuperBook, honestly).  Also, because it's only a light novel, illustrations don't have to be the main priority, and can instead be used without suffering from a quality loss, correct?

As for the content, again, it's not something I've ever seen before, and I'm sure I would've seen something like this, if it already existed.  I developed an idea while reading some certain American-made manga online, and while their story is still developing, I've already thought up years in advance.  My focus is constantly shifting from the beginning of the story, to later parts of the story, back to earlier parts, all the way to the end, how I get to the end, and back to the beginning.  My thought process is strange like that, I realize, but that also means that I have a good handle on the characters and events.  And I'm also capable of rendering high quality art in my mind, so I can picture it exactly how I want it.

I'm not going to commit to anything right now, but if I do end up making some trial chapters, I'll make sure to post them.  Obviously, I'll put a disclaimer and say that "this story is heavily influenced by Christianity", but anybody who's watched Evangelion, Haruhi Suzumiya... uh... episode #19 of Samurai Champloo... what else... I don't know, but anybody who watched those shows shouldn't have any qualms about this.  My story isn't violent, though, so you don't have to worry about seeing samurai, or Children, or espers/time travelers/aliens (...maybe).  This is something that can actually be rooted in reality, so don't worry. xD
