Add robots and ninjas. It is scientifically proven that robots and ninjas make any work 95% more awesome.
Hmm...what about robotic ninjas?
I dunno... We saw how that turned out in "Robocop 3", didn't we?

No ninjas, but I am writing a novel that is 95% about robots (and androids - there's a vitally important distinction between them in the story). It also tackles the concepts of God vs. Satan, and which one of them is actually good or evil. And it's all wrapped up in an existential question of whether being denied knowledge of oneself means being deprived of free will.
Nothing deep, though
.anyone watch Transformers: Animated? Jazz and Prowl are ninjas in that...

I have started working on an idea this year.
The screenplay is far from complete but the main ideas and characters are there. I have conceptual drawings of them and other scenes and am in the process of putting it into either 2.5D/3D world. I'm not sure how the output will be but its still real early in the process. I have also written 3 original songs for the story so far.
Its my first effort at trying this but i love doing it and taking it one step at a time. It is a Sci-Fi story that revolves around a Cyborg family. Pretty dark theme/vibe but 'A new hope' is there. Its a learning process. Like i'm in 'school' and 'doing the job' at the same time.
Maybe.
However, I write, when I write, really for pleasure. And I have no real aspirations towards becoming a published author. Or having to deal with publishing houses, agents, and an ass load or rejection letters.

I'm working on a "naughty" sf comedy small-press comic. There have been 5 issues so far.
I dabbled in it quite a bit when I was younger, but I can't find the discipline these days when I come home from work to write something. I wish I could because I think I could at least weave an entertaining yarn for some folks out there.
I've been writing science fiction and fantasy since I was in elementary school and my goal is to become a professional writer as well, either novelist or screenwriter. I'm currently working on three seperate sci-fi tales and a fantasy horror trilogy.
My brother and I wrote a fantasy novel 13 years ago. Garnered six rejections. I doubt it will ever see the light of day, but it has a lot of innovative stuff in it. It's definitely not Tolkien or Rowling.
Nowadays, I make my living as a writer, mostly for newspapers, but occasionally for magazines as well. Non-fiction is easier than fiction.

I have two ebooks just released to sort of help promote a print anthology of Christmas stories coming out next year. One of the stories has been optioned as a feature. I also have a TV pilot at one of the production companies under the Disney umbrella which looks (knock on wood) to be going into production this Spring. Last but not least... two novels. One with a final manuscript due in January, the other far too long to publish, I fear. Details are on my Web site. So I am finally retiring from marketing communications to concentrate on storytelling full time, and am completely thrilled.

My scicence fiction project...deals with the notion that humanity was created by a race of extremly advanaced beings to be the perfect warriors. That is why we're so hostile to one another and have basically waged wars throughout our history. Kind of deals with some heady stuff.
I'm currently working on an apocalyptic tale of a 20-something guy being faced one morning with boiling seas, blackened skies and zombies and monsters wandering the countryside and coming to decide that the one thing he wants to try to accomplish before the imminent death of humanity is to make it home to his family and girlfriend to say goodbye. Of course the roads are all clogged by accidents or (un)natural disasters so most of it is by foot through the small-towns and wilderness of northern California and Oregon.
welp, my story for the other antho didn't make it. but since i was up against a lot of pro-writers, i'm not too surprised. apparently mine remained in contention to get in the book longer than the otehr two noob writers, so that's something...
I've got a couple of prose projects I work on occasionally while concentrating on tv and movie scripts.
- a novel set in prehistoric Greece based on the life of Daedalus;
- a series set in a huge, medieval city, a city so big it crosses snowy mountains and desert plains (6-7 novels);
- a military SF series (5-6 novels);
- a superhero novel for grownups;
- a post apocalypse novel made up of a series of short stories;
- a 'gods in modern day' novel with a twist.
There's a few others, but they're the ones I really want to write eventually.

You go, boy! Loved the Khan novels! If tie-ins are the only thing you are doing, I, for one, am willing to shell out some hard-earned sheckels to you!I haven't written anything original in years.
Tie-ins on the other hand . . .
