Something, something… meh

It’s that time again. I have most of a bottle of JD’s swirling around in my stomach and a warm happy feeling… which is likely just the alcohol.

After a week of office work (occasionally from home while sat in my underwear, homeworking ftw) visits from the landlord, british gas to do their yearly safety check, electrician to sort out the dodgy lights on the landing and all the fun filled tasks that come with being a parent and somewhat responsible adult… It is time for a break. Time, indeed to relax and enjoy myself. So writing it is.

I shall be continuing my science fiction tale, set in a world where the hundreds of settled worlds have lost their connection to each other and to mother Earth. I’m about 30,000 words in and so far it’s flowing rather nicely.

No doubt once I finish the first draft I’ll go back through with a focus on the science and continuity. Overall though, things seem to be working well.

The universe works, the characters are feeling fleshed out and real while events are unfolding in a pleasing manner. I fully expect it to be completed and released in December.

Which brings me to what to do after that. I have the third and final book of my (so far) poor selling Urban Fantasy story. I’m hoping that with the third and final book in that immediate story, I can bundle it together and promo the heck out of it to generate some sales.

After that (which really won’t take long and should be done by the end of Jan with a lot of the work already done,) I shall be returning to my zombie series.

This is exciting for me because Ryan is by far, my favourite character. I love him in a way that he wouldn’t understand because… well, he’s a bit closed off that way.

The question I have for anyone who has read the books and happens to drop by to read this blog is this; What do you want to see from the next series?

A change up in style? First person is amazing to show just how alien the world can be to Ryan but in third person, you can get inside the head of Lily and his friends too.

Would that be something you would want? A story that incorporates the other characters a little more or are you happy with keeping the world contained in Ryan’s twisted mind?

I am tempted, to keep it first person but have alternate POV. Ryan one chapter, Lily the next. I imagine it could be interesting to see how Lily views the world since she is pretty much the opposite of Ryan in her views.

It would be interesting to hear what people think so leave a comment and let me know.
