Current project - a future dystopia, taking place after the environmental and subsequent human devastation.
ReplyDeleteWrote the story because I had to. Its been living inside me for years.
Underlying themes: The challenge of transition (timely), the limits of planning in agency in a world where others have plans and agency and the importance of narrative for shaping culture and expectation.
Why did I choose them: The importance of narrative, because as a writer, that is what drives us, but the other two emerged from the writing. I didn't plan it, and it influenced plot and ending.
