Whenever someone asks about my novel, I can say in short that if they remember Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, my novel is a continuation of these stories through to the Renaissance. It's not the entire story of course, as I wouldn't want to give too much away at this stage. Yet there is little to give away at all if I don't succeed in knitting the story together. My previous attempts at writing a plot encapsulating all this though, make for rather silly re-reading. This morning, whipping my Psion 5mx out on the bus to work, I tried rewriting some of the plot, from the start.

During quiet periods at the office, I thought not to continue writing. At any moment, someone could call about a faulty laptop or error message in Outlook, throwing me off course completely. I did however try to start a bit of on-line research, and despite moronic colleagues trying to engage me in senseless blethering (oh the halcyon days of LAN Quake parties at the IT helpdesk, where have they gone?!) I've made some progress tying ancient religions together at Wikipedia and other sites. My head is spinning, but it's all good, it's just not used to whirring this much ;o)
