Sounds good to me, first person would be interesting to try.

Hi Nick, I'm going to experiment with 1st person, but if it doesn't flow, I'll swap back to my familiar territory of 3rd person POV.
There's been an idea/scene that's been floating around in my imagination for more than a decade, and which inspired my character of Gang Wu.This story allows me to implement this scene as the prologue. I'm very happy with that.
I also got the 'ending,' of this mini-series last night. It gave me shivers. I noted it down on paper, and then spent this morning fleshing it out in Scrivener (I have a new project set up for this miniseries).
This project sounds good, Graeme. So, have you tested this idea and made a decision? It's time to a 1st person story?
I haven't tested it. I'm designing the story now... I think design will be fleshed out quite quickly as I'm deliberately keeping the narrative focused, and not letting it sprawl.I'm thinking three short books at approx 45-50K words each. Approx 100 pages each.
Three independent books, maybe adventures of different characters? Or a single story divided in three parts?
Hi Andrew, still designing, this first novella may be a stand alone. I'm looking to keep the writing crisp and focused and make sure its a quick potent read that someone could do in a day.
I did a lot of thinking about this story today as I was walking my dog and I'm thinking that with a tight focus - it will be one book.
Kinda - what if Heinrich Himmler was secretly a Metaframe sorcerer and the true power behind the Nazi movement. Add in early experimentation with an analogue to the Day Guard serum, and you've got SS super-soldiers...
Rudolf Hess, Reinhard Heydrich, Josef Mengele and Albert Speer were all high ranking Nazis who would have been involved in that sort of thing. It sickens me to know that three of them survived until my lifetime, and two of those three died as free men. Tieing Crane to ODESSA might be useful for getting the Day Guard serum labs to South America. It sounds like it could be very interesting.
