Alliad and Walker Jones

Behold the tentative name for my new world! I say tentative because I'm liable to change my mind at any point right up until I actually have to mention the name in my story. But for now it's Alliad. I can't tell much about the world of Alliad right now. I'm only just beginning to get a painting in my head of what it's shaped like. Much of it I expect I'll be inventing as I go. But therein lies the fun!

I haven't had as much time as I thought I would to pre-plan for NaNo. Work keeps me busy, but it also helps clear my mind for fresh ideas. Admittedly, most of my ideas are vague. Like impressionistic paintings.

Walker Jones, one of my Main Characters (MC), strikes me as being generally laid back. He's not easily ruffled. Of course, stepping into another world is enough to ruffle anyone. He's got an easy way of talking. Often times it's like stretching out under a tree on a lazy summer afternoon. He's good with his hands -- with fixing things. The kind of guy who could build a car from scratch. He's not what people would call "book smart". It's not that he's dumb, it's just that he can't be bothered. Studying from books holds no interest for him. He'd rather learn something by seeing and touching and doing. Walker's a pretty average guy. He's of medium height and build, with tawny hair and ordinary brown eyes. A ham and cheese sandwich kind of guy.

He's probably not as laid back as I think he is. I'm still discovering Walker Jones.
