Novel Warmup

With words still left to write in my novel-cum-NaNoWriMo 2004 project, I'm leery about writing the next volume just yet. Fortunately I have several dozen story ideas already in summary format regarding the same universe, so I'll be doing one of them, in diary format in 1st person, or as a novel in 3rd person. Induction (the first novel) is in 1st person, and I'm getting a little sick of things happening to me personally .

I feel I've been blessed in an Anne McCaffrey, JRR Tolkien, Ben Bova or Larry Niven (puppeteers or Kzin) kind of way: an entire universe, with rich history and lots of plot lines to work with. Enough material for me to get good and sick of after the (adult) fanzines cash in.
