There’s been a few newsworthy events in the past week or so. 5 people imploded in a tin can at the bottom of the ocean. The Greek coast guard tried to drown 700+ people. Some kinda awful mercenary group is trying to overthrow the Russian government. Basic stuff.<\/p>\n
I’ve been writing on “Burrito at Night.” Since I’ve been writing it “seat of the pants”-style I have to decide how much action I want to take place. What direction I want things to go.<\/p>\n
Should there be intrigue? Violence? Action?<\/p>\n
Or should it remain a semi-commentary story about a fairly anonymous everyday guy in a dark future work just trying to live his life and be himself?<\/p>\n
I think I’m going to ask my Patreons what they want: Introspection and cerebral sci-fi, or someone comes knocking at the door and some kind of future intrigue starts happening.<\/p>\n
At this point, the main character is in his living room sweating through his skin, suffering in a world badly effected by climate change and the uncaring cruelty of the ultra-rich.<\/p>\n
He is living with a broken air conditioner that he can’t afford to get fixed or replaced because he had to go into debt due to a medical scare. He only has his ration of drinking water and can’t afford to purchase extra.<\/p>\n
But no matter how grim the future, he still has a will to live.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
