Resuming: to write you need to have something interesting to tell.
- mortenjorck 8y agoI started a novel ten years ago because I thought I had a bunch of cool science fiction ideas. I never got very far writing it. And yet I never really stopped thinking about it, working on its universe, occasionally taking notes and making outlines. Only much more recently, having trashed most of the original science fiction, replacing it with more social and economic speculation, I realized what it was actually about – this story finally had a reason to exist, a mission. This is what drives me to write it now: Not the fun of imagining an escapist future, but the urgency of exploring a world we might find ourselves in. My best idea for this novel turned out to be waiting to write it.
