The past couple of weeks have been pretty crazy. Especially last week, when I was battling a small head cold. It has completely thrown off my writing momentum for the reviews, if I’m being honest. But I want to keep writing them. I just need to find a good time to get them out of my head.
And I’ve had trouble with the novel I’ve been writing for the past several years. So I’m moving on to my science fiction parody. I’ve been writing it for the last three or four days and am loving it. So that seems to be my main focus for now.
I’ve always loved Douglas Adams and his inaccurately numbered trilogy The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. And I want to use the absurdist tone from that to set the stage for the first book in a series; one that parodies superheroes.
If I love something, then I tend to make fun of it. Because only a big nerd would be able to create a deep-cut joke that digs at her favorite things. And there are a lot of things that I’ve enjoyed over the past 32 years. It’s all fair game. But the trick is to do it well. I’m no Stephen King or Brandon Sanderson, but I’m doing my damndest to write every day.
So, on top of reviewing things, my Autism chronicles, and travels, I’m going to keep track of my book writing and making fun of the book genres I love. I hope to start a conversation about things such as “what is satire,” “absurdism,” “parody,” similarities and differences between them all.
Please join me for the ride! I hope you enjoy.
