Good Wishes For The Nanowrimo People And An Example Of A Previous Nanowrimo: Apocalypse All the Time

Nanowrimo is going on right now, national novel writing month. Just wanted to wish everyone trying that well. I’m doing FlashNano instead, which I’ve done for the past couple years. I have done Nanowrimo before though. The first draft of Apocalypse All the Time was a successful attempt at Nanowrimo a few years back. It took a heck of a lot of rewriting and revision after that to move from what I got out of Nanowrimo to a published book, but it can happen. Thought a reminder of that could help out the people still trying but perhaps struggling a bit to get though the month.

Apocalypse All the Time is post-post-apocalypticism. The apocalypse happens on a weekly (if not daily) basis and Marshall is sick of it. Life is constantly in peril, constantly disrupted, but nothing significant every really happens as a result. It’s always handled. Marshall wants out; he wants it all to end. In short, the book explores what about the end times holds such fascination for humanity and what impact such a fascination has on the way we live our lives.
