The occasional ramblings, thoughts, rants, etc., from an independent who has lived all over the country.

A day late and a novel short

Today I discovered that right now agents and editors love, love, love books with heaven and or hell in them. Isn't that special. The project I started over a year ago is now a hot, hot, hot trend. Too bad all I did was just write the first few pages.

Sure I could crank out pages, but they'd be sucky pages.

The way I learned this is another writer completed a first draft of a book set in the afterlife. She said it was the toughest book to write yet. World building is really tough.

Yeah, I know. That's what got to me. It's a whole new world and the rules have to be consistant. And anyone who knows me, knows the one thing I'm not is consistant. I like changing the rules as I go along, which doesn't work in this situation.

And right now I'm not sure if I have the time or energy required to actually make...ya know...rules for the new world of the afterlife.
