What if...

Ramblings

“What if” is a phrase that used to drive me nuts as a kid. My mother used to ask me, “What if you put your eye out?” or something similar every time I did something stupid. She said “What if…” a lot. I started asking that question about things too. What if this happened? What if that didn’t?

That’s how the Salem Coven came about. What if the Trials were a coordinated attack on the “good guys” protecting us from the real evil? What was the evil? What if the Coven still existed? What might that look like? What would it be like to be the bumbling oaf at the bottom of that pecking order? Those questions interested me and grew into scribbled notes, which turned into an outline, which resulted in a manuscript I rewrote seven times, including major plot revisions. It took a year and even led to the design of a RPG system so I could keep track of who could do what.

I have plans, and they will likely go astray, but I’m good with that. The best ones do.
