Now that things have stabilized with the third draft of the mystery-thriller I’ve been working on for years and years now, I think it’s time I seriously try to have a backup story ready. I understand how to — I — develop a novel, so I can use that to hopefully develop a new novel a lot more quickly.
The three scif novel concepts are, in general — one about a pandemic and its consequences, another about the consequences of a pandemic, one that is similar to Silo / Wool and one last one about how difficult it would be to get humans to agree that all human life should be valued equally.
But I really want to push myself out of my comfort zone. I need to read and watch more as well as develop. I just hate that I’m in such a unique situation –that could end at any moment — and I’ve not taken as much advantage of it as I should have.
But that’s just part of being a human, I suppose.
