I've pretty much had the same story, at least in principle, since I began here. Supporting cast gets changed, the main star is now changed, but the modern day Illuminatus (as I call it) is still very much the way I began it. I like my ego stroked now and again so thanks for that Lane. It's not always easy to run new arcs within one continuous story line. If you find a subject matter you are passionate about, the ideas will come. You can take current real world events and twist them to fit what you're doing in your story. I did that with Benedict XVI resignation. Oddly, my fictionalized version of him became an antagonist PRIOR to the resignation announcement and it was just too perfect not to use.

Blah blah. That said, I might have some time this weekend Graves, to look over your stuff and feed you some back.
