I have a novel I’ve been working on for years now. Meanwhile, I’ve been struggling to come up with a “backup” scifi novel as well. Well, using AI, I’ve sped the development of an outline for the back up novel up A GREAT DEAL. What might have taken months took — checks watch — about 20 minutes.
Now I have a general outline for a novel that is very timely. It’s great. I love it. The issue is, of course, I don’t want to overwhelm myself. And, yet, I love this scifi idea so much — it’s very personal — that I’m willing to risk it.
And here’s where I go on a rant — I wanted to write some of this proposed novel from a female POV, but apparently there’s now a big taboo about such things. The main novel I’m writing has me doing this a great deal, but for this backup novel, I wanted to be as marketable as possible.
So, my goal is — strictly single male POV, short chapters and written from a first person POV. (Sigh.) The point is — I have to admit to myself that the main novel I’m writing is something of a “passion project” because the fucking “woke cancel culture mob” has all these weird demands of storytelling that really, really get on my nerves.
But, I would like to be a published author before I croak, so, lulz.
