Started work in earnest today on my next #SciFi novel, a space opera inspired by Thucydides & dealing with ethical dilemmas in wartime. Major question of the work: How can one build proactively when others' destructive actions constantly compel triage-based response?
Process differs for every writer: I'm of the school that endlessly revises the first 20% of a story before I can finish the draft; I need the initial cadence *just* right to set a tone for the rest.
Still, it's a start! #AmWriting
@MLClark As always ... in awe of you M 😆 I can't imagine an kind of literary ANYTHING that wouldn't benefit from your unique level of skill at pairing the most perfectly symbiotic subjects into something epic and bringing the feels out of it. I don't know what these people are normally publishing but it can't be as good 😆 I'd be lying though if I didn't say I'd give anything to see your work NOT along side headlines about "I ❤️ hot youth pastors" stickers ...
@thewebrecluse 😂 *successful* essay pitches. It's a tough market to crack!
But I think I've figured out just the right topic for such an essay. Just need to find the time, while also working on a piece on biocomputing and consciousness studies for OnlySky tomorrow. Always more to do! 🙃
