I’m no where near finished the first draft of this scifi dramedy novel I’m working on and I’m already brooding over the second draft. Once I’m done racing through the first draft, I’m going to do a lot of brooding about how to take things to the next level.
Things are going to go a lot slower once I can’t use AI anymore. But I’m hoping that my native creativity will be strong enough that by, say, maybe the end of spring 2026 I will have a beta draft done.
Maybe?
That is just about when my life is going to change in a rather dramatic fashion one way or another. My life is going to be upended a great deal between now and next spring so it will be interesting to see if I still have the wherewithal to finish a novel.
At this point my goal is simple — I just want to write a novel good enough that I can query it. That’s it. That’s all I want.
