I'm starting to question whether Paco is the right approach for the kind of book I want to write. I keep drifting into a rather dark sci-fi/horror and this is giving me serious plotting problems for the first 25% of the story.

Imagine, if you will, that there are other dimensions that can be accessed and 'brought closer' to our own with a device that relies on a cyborg like unification with a human mind to operate. And imagine that a rogue bunch of corporatists, some in government, some out, are about to cause no end of havoc with this.

For individual scenes and overall tension, it would work best as something more unPacoish. But for uniqueness of voice, Paco would be the way to go.

I'm baffled, and my muse is pissing me off as much as I'm no doubt frustrating her.
