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.
