I’m all abuzz today, because I’ve come up with a new concept for a trilogy of books. They’re sci-fi horror, and I think the concept is – as we say in Scotland – a stoater. Obviously I’m not going to tell you what it is, but I’m currently working it up into a proper pitch to send to my editor at HarperCollins. Hopefully he’ll see the potential in it.
Before I can get the pitch done, though, I’m going through a brainstorming process to help me generate some ideas for characters, scenes and plot points. The brainstorming process is great fun, as it lets your imagination be completely uninhibited, and you don’t have to worry about what’s good and what’s bad, what makes sense and what doesn’t. It’s all about vomiting ideas out of your head and down onto a piece of paper. Sorting through them and deciding what’s going in and what isn’t, that comes later on.
The working title at the moment is THE LAST DAYS, but that won’t be the title I settle on. I find it easier to come up with a title after the story is written, as you don’t truly know what it’s about until that final word is in place.
Anyway, that’s it for tonight. I’ve got a night class to go and teach.
