Okay, so it's been a couple of really hectic months, and I think I'm getting things on track, so...(prepare for the bad news)...I'm back! The first thing I went and tried is actualy starting up my series for once, but as usual... I have no idea when, where, or how to start. I mean literally, I'm stuck between vague ideas and structural stuff.

Now, I know for a fact that I'm gonna be starting off with a revolution, when Aegis (the protagonist) starts seeing the bloodstained history his country (and later, the world) is stading on. But here's the problem: I don't know how I'm going to build up.

The reason for this is...well, because I'm writing a novel. And One Piece isn't a novel... (I try copying some elements off of One Piece either for inspiration or simple help) One Piece starts with a really, really boring story (because manga and anime are supposed to make you curious and keep tuning in) where Luffy sets sail and gets sucked into a whirlpool. But novels usually start with an impact (or else people don't read) and then flashback to what happened. So I'm just having a hard time developing stories that fit. If any of this made any sense...

Bottom line, I need some help trying to kick start the series, which has been on the ground for like, 3 years, now? I'd really appreciate some tips and ideas. Thanks!

Oh and pardon the lengthy explanation which probably only makes sense in my head ;P
