As some of you know I started a new book a few days ago. The
title is IMAGINATION and it’s the wildest concept I’ve had yet. Here’s the
preliminary tagline: (What if everything around us, our friends, our
surroundings, the universe, what if all we experience is just a figment of
someone’s imagination? And what if that someone is dying?) I’m very excited
about this one as I’ve been thinking about this possibility for a long time.
The book will be written in the style of one of my earlier works DEGENERATES.
Five different characters and their sub-stories will all merge into one plot as
they all come to gradually realize the truth about their existence. I will post
updates on my progress. Right now, I’ve been averaging about two pages single
spaced a day. I’ve got thirteen pages written. My block is usually ten pages,
if I can write past that the book gets written. You’d be surprised how many
books I’ve started that have gotten to eight pages when I decide it’s no good.
So, this one looks to be a keeper.
In other news, there are a few
sites that are promoting me at the moment. The first is an interview I did a
ways back that is getting some online time now. It’s at:
The other is a featured excerpt
from INSECTLAND. It can be found here:
All in all, the books are starting
to sell and the new one is being written. So far so good, looks to be a
productive winter.
Interesting idea! Similar things have been done for computer worlds peopled by characters who don't realise their existence is virtual only, but I'm interested to see how this one develops. The dying is the new factor.
