Picking the style

I got an idea last night when I had gone to bed (at 4 am local time) - it almost ruined my sleep.

   I have been doing some research today and some of the groundwork. I am still trying to pick the format to tell the story in. I would like to try doing a journal/dairy/blog-form, but I do not like the limitations.

   Maybe it is because I watch so many movies and tv-series, but I like to make conversations. Talking is the way we get most information these days - when it is not from reading. Having only one perspective to tell from is to me a challenge, but a fun one. I mostly write in third person. It gives a nice freedom to move perspective and be all-knowing.

   Tamora Pierce's new series about Beka Cooper is the best journal formed books I have read. I have my doubts that I can do as well with the style.

   I have read books like Starbrow and Twilight and seen how one can write a great story from the 'I'-perspective, but I am not sure that I can do this story in that form. I have been thinking if it is possible to mix. I have never seen it done, but maybe it is possible.

   There is still some ground to cover with the characters, the layout of the location, society structure and such. That will by me some time.

   I will put on a movie or three and begin on the maps.
