So, among rebooting various aspects of my life right about now, something I started writing has come back to me from beyond the grave. I'm not quite sure what to make of it really. On the one hand, it can turn into your typical near future dystopia novel in which yet another female character generated by a new author would save the day, kind of. On the other hand, there's a lot of controversial stuff I'm tackling that, while it has been covered before, bot from this specific perspective.
I'm worried about giving too much away lest someone steal my idea. But it does take a look at issues of self-expression, freedom, and choices from the point of view of a young woman who is not of Caucasian descent. That alone is rare if regular novels, let alone sci-fi/thriller/speculative fiction.
There's no doubt that I can write well. The problem is finding enough time and motivation to do so. I enjoy writing and can really produce a lot when I'm in the zone. Maybe I'll dedicate some of these rebooting efforts to that.
