I have some ideas that I want to elaborate on, and many projects to embark on. If you like what you hear about one idea, I'll write some more and post it, then see what happens.
1. Most of the world has been taken over by an oppressive government regime that revolves around creating the perfect race of human beings. If you're someone with glasses or other defects, there is a chance that you may be killed in the womb or early on in life. Genetic Engineering comes into play as well.
When scientists begin researching ESP and other things, some people begin to exhibit interesting behavior. Psychic abilities are beginning to be discovered, and with it new technology and weaponry. Eventually, the story centers around our hero, (BLANK(Names are always a problem for me) and he forms a rebel group.... The story thinking never got much farther.
SEGWAY INTO STORY TWO
2. A radical religious group has taken over the world. It has been this way for fifty years, and the religion is practiced by all. All seems well with it, and the people who practice it seem benign. However, a young man encounters a series of events that changes his idea of how things are and were and should be, and his thinking changes. He begins to form a group of other students and people who agree with his ideologies, but the religious group learns of it, and attacks. Our hero is one of the only survivors, and now he retreats into the wilderness where he finds ancient relics of an age gone by. Taking these with him, he constructs his own village in the wilderness with the natives. However, the religious group is still looking for him, and an attack on the village makes him realize he is only hampering the village's progress. Before he can decide to retreat, however, another attack occurs... In the form of an odd weapon that teleports everyone into a dimension of death and fear. Throughout the hero's journey in the new world, he is plagued by a voice which soon materializes itself... As God.
I have a lot more to it, but it would spoil the story too much.
There are more as well, but I'm too tired.

3. A short story about nature. As an army is making their way through a forest, killing animals and destroying things as they go, the trees attack in the night, and eat the humans alive. After the attack is over everything returns to being perfectly normal. A work in progress.
4. A series of stories about people with superpowers and abilities.
5. The RIA narrative.
So, what project should I embark on?
-
Right now it would be number two, but only for the reason that it's the one that has been explained the most <_<
Number five would be interesting, as long as there's no biasism (is that even a word?) in it.

The first two ideas are very centered on the idea of dystopia and rebuilding civilization, though the second is something that could span multiple novels...
-
Three.

I get sidetracked very easily. Also, it's hard for me to just start writing when I don't know how it's going to turn out exactly.
-
And actually, I've been thinking about Idea 2 a lot... I was thinking about a play, but maybe a novel is better... Maybe both, who knows?
