4 feet of butcher paper, 10 scribbled upon pieces of scrap paper during work, and 2 weeks of intense brainstorming, sibling discussions about world-building, and hypothetical ramblings... Project Human’s plot is pretty solid, I have both mental and physical pictures of the two driving protagonists, AND some pretty epic ideas for the antagonist character(s).

I have also been trolling Pinterest for hours as a part of my storyboarding technique, read numerous speculative articles, working my way through a list of both movies and books about a speculative future involving robots (Ex Machina is awesome until the last 10 minutes, upon which both my eyebrows were raised and I had a mental mantra of "what the heck...what?" Still, excellent AI movie... if but a bit disturbing and abstract.) to both make sure I won’t unintentionally copy ideas/storylines, as well feed the creative monster a steady diet of sci-fi to prepare for my writing marathon that will be the writing of this first draft.

A blurb will probably be ready in a week or so, and I’m really excited to share that with you! And as a sneak peek, I’m going to drop the two protagonist’s names...

As the voice of the story (first person; present tense - a perspective I adore) we have Hailey, an almost-18 year old android mechanic. The android prototype is PH-S1 (Project Human, Subject 1) that is an experimental, first-of-its-kind design. I really can’t say more about the android without dropping MAJOR spoilers, but needless to say this character is where the I-Robot references come heavily into play... sort of.

Anyway, that’s it for now. If you’d like to discuss a speculative future with me (please! The more ideas, the merrier!) email me at tcbbcfangirl@gmail.com

Cheers!
