To say I’m excited about this book is a vast understatement. This is a story I see as a vast, cinematic thing in my head, a story that keeps me up at night as I explore the world of it.
Random question: Is it narcissistic to admire your own story as much as I am in awe of this one?
As I’ve plotted and tested various ideas for this story, two things have stood out strong and clear to me:
1-- I can’t tell this story from just one viewpoint (Hailey’s) because certain unnamed events can’t be seen through any other eyes than Ander’s. It’s going to be interesting writing from the viewpoint of an AI, but I am more than ready for the challenge. Honestly, Ander’s perspective has been coming more easily to me than Hailey’s...
So, in other words, Project Human will be written from two alternating points of view.
2 -- Because this story is set in a world that is just so big, because there are so many possibilities and awesome things in the year 2120, this story can’t be contained in just one book, which means yay for a sequel! I’ve got a very basic idea of what that will hold, as for now I’m focusing on the groundwork: learning as much as I can about the future I’m writing (which includes really cool research about nanotube muscles, artificial skin, possible technology, etc) and clarifying the order of events in this story.
I’m going to start writing the first draft during April for Camp NaNoWriMo (see aforementioned excitement above) and I will not open this up for pre-order until I have met the two goals of most importantly having a first draft AND 300 followers for this project here on Inkshares.
So all I’m asking is for you to recommend this to people. Spread the word. Build the interest. No money involved, just a simple click of that "follow" button.
