Ghenghis Smith – a new Sci-Fi novel.

I have produced a series of five Sci-Fi novels loosely based around a future galactic system. Each one of the novels centres around a current social trait – populism, corruption, greed, advertising, religious fanaticism, exploitation, biased media, terrorism and the control of the masses.

Overpopulation is a huge problem. People live in tiny hutches, level upon level. The novels are based around their struggle to survive as the wealthy, living in obscene luxury, exploit them.

So far I have written:

The Cabal – renamed Terra 3

The Scrolls of Pandora 3

DremeWorld

A Message From Hermes

and

Ghenghis Smith.

The first four have been fully edited and are ready to go. My latest effort (Ghenghis Smith) is presently a first draft of some 59,000 words. I am embarking on a rewrite. I hope to enlarge it to be at least 70,000 words. Wish me luck!

When I have completed that I will then start the process of looking for a publisher and agent! Any help gratefully received!

Today’s writing

Today I have devoted to writing my new Sci-fi novel Dremeworld. I’ve managed ten pages – about 5000 words. Not bad for a first draught writing speed.

It’s been interesting. I have a basic idea of the plot and where it is going but nothing planned out in detail. I’ve invented a number of characters and once let loose they take on a life of their own, taking the novel down unexpected rabbit holes. New ideas crop up. New scenarios develop.

Right now I’m burnt out and devoid of ideas. Tomorrow my subconscious will have a fresh stock of ideas to bring to the narrative (I hope). I find it amazing how the subconscious works. Without me thinking about the book at all it is quietly churning away in the background.

Right now I need to unwind!
