Otherworldly tales, always with heart
Ever wonder what goes on in an author’s search history?
Fair warning before we get into it: I don’t google things during my first draft. That version looks something like: [Insert Elephant Weight Here]. If I stopped to research every detail mid-scene, I’d never finish the book. Which is probably why my editing takes forever.
Anyway. Here’s the list.
I’ve spent a concerning amount of time thinking about how the world ends.
Different methods. Different timelines. Different levels of drama.
Sometimes it’s a cooling sun.
Sometimes it’s a virus.
Sometimes it’s aliens.
Sometimes it’s five women with superpowers and a revenge agenda who accidentally take out a city block.
(That last one is technically not a global apocalypse, but if you live on that block, it feels personal.)
The point is: I have opinions. Professionally. (Which feels like a generous term, but we’re going with it.)
And the question nobody is asking—but absolutely should be—is this: Which apocalypse are you actually built for?
Not which one you want.
Nobody wants any of them.
I mean which one fits your personality, your coping mechanisms, and your willingness to make slightly questionable decisions under pressure. Be honest. This is a judgment-free zone. Mostly.
