Audio Drama, POV, & self-flagellation

Posted By orchard on March 4, 2010

I’ll be blunt…I don’t know much of anything about writing audio dramas.  In fact, I’m not sure I know anything about writing.  With that in mind, I am trying to get in the mind frame appropriate for writing more fiction.  The audio drama will be centered around the entire TMOG concept, telling the story of the alternate world in which the TMOG exists.

I am currently  working on a work that is told from the POV of a non-human character, and her reaction to meeting them for the first time.  It’s coming along nicely, but I am still struggling with a few details of it.

Both of the above remind me of why so many authors choose to write things that are told from either third-person omniscient or even a semi-omniscient narrator.   Telling a story from an unusual POV or about alternate realities quickly becomes a great deal of work.  Somehow I end up choosing things that are not easy to write.  I guess I’m just that self-flagellating.  One day, I will finish writing something, and it will be worth reading!

The Time Machine of Guam was first brought to my attention by a good friend of mine...and I decided that it was my mission in life to bring it to the world's attention! I am also the inventor of Orchard's Steam-Powered Rapid Serial Quantum Teleportation Device. It still has a few quirks. It's not whether or not I write, but what I write that has become the defining question in my life.
