Ominous title = this blog entry. Of course, it always does.
I've been tearing away, brainstorming... which really just means I've been sitting at the computer all day, playing my favorite computer game series called Total War for hours on end, hoping an idea would pop into my brain, one that could propel me to writing.
Well, I am doing just. Right now, I am on the early stages of a new project. The current title is called Lifeless. It's a working title, of course. It will consist of three short stories, in a sort of novelette format, around fifteen to twenty thousand words each. It focuses on the subject of morality, and attempting to maintain and possible regain humanity during a long and arduous post-apocalyptic world, one that is filled with the likes of murderers, rapists, thieves, and liars. It's a dangerous world, and made even worse by the inclusion of undead, hungry creatures.
Over and over, apocalyptic stories have an underlying theme: those who posses and try to keep a sense of morality, a sense of human dignity, are killed outright. It is a survival of the fittest in the new, drastically changed world, and everyone must conform, or die. Few stories focus on the good of human, and the generosity many can provide.
Again, the story will consist of three short novels. I will not say when it will be published. As time goes by, I will provide more information of the story, and possibly a plotline.
So, with that being said, and my new project now known to everyone,
RJ. is out.
