Personal Log: Adrian Rodd

I'm rather happy today, since, for the first time (more or less) in years, I've been able to write something (the beginning of a story) that wasn't a Frontier Fleet post. Inspired by the high quality of recent "Lost" episodes, I decided to get started on writing the story of one of the survivors who is never seen on screen - a new character (à la Nikki and Paulo, in a way...). As in "Exposé", I started with the events of "Pilot, part 1" seen through the eyes of a new character. I then started to weave her into the events of the storyline. She also has flashbacks, a reason for having been on the plane and (probably, to some extent) a "guilty secret". I sat down and wrote ten pages, thinking things through as I went. My creative juices have run somewhat dry now, and I'm not sure where to continue from here, but hopefully I'll get back to it at some point.
