Yes, when I started the One Year Adventure Novel program, I promised myself I would work on only ONE story. Only one. What has my brain done but create a new story world and idea when I was bored out of my wits. <.< Here is a run down on what the world is basically like.
The story happens between two different planets. The first is
basically a futuristic-different-reality Earth, and the second is a planet
that is constantly on the exact orbit as Earth except for every few years when
half of the planet turns desert, and the other half arctic cold. In this
different reality, there is an extremely recessive gene that humans have that
gives them a second 'form', but unbeknownst to the scientists of the time,
there is an even rarer gene that allows that person to have multiple 'forms'.
These forms are all animal forms. Each form depends on one or more
characteristic of that person.
Here is a few
examples of how this works. One of the characters is Yvette; she was born on
earth blind. Her parents agree to try to fix it via eye surgery, and she can
now see light and dark. Because she was blind born blind, her form is a bat.
But a side effect of the surgery that allows her to see light and dark is that
her hair is permanently white. So her form is now a white bat.
Another character, Alondra has a problem with talking, and so everyone at first
sort of ignored her when she was little. But she loved dancing and graceful
movement, her form is a swan.
I have started a Pinterest board for this series (There is no way I can make this into one book without leaving out some character's story. . .).

As an end note, I am thinking of calling it the Black Wing Series because one of the constant main characters is nick named for her favorite form as a raven.
Sole Deo Gloria,
