You ever have that feeling that you're on the verge of something great but it's not...quite....there yet?  I feel that way about project 3.  The potential is there, if I can just...figure out what it is that I'm missing.  I think the plot is good.  I think the characters are good.  The premise is great.  But there's something in the tone I just haven't captured yet.
The closest explanation I can come up with is:  I am aiming for a steampunk-ish world.  I have the steam, I'm seriously lacking in punk.  And I'm not even sure if that's an accurate complaint.  
I am seriously considering going back to do a major revise on the first chapters I already have done before I can move on.  I swore I wouldn't do it, but it may become necessary.

Cookies inspire me at least...well, inspire me to walk. *grump*
They inspire you to walk? They inspire me to curl up on the couch with a tall frosty glass of milk and do absolutely nothing.
