6.204. On Writing and Goals

I’ll be back to the bloganovella tomorrow. I’m back to the revving up phase, as I described it yesterday, and getting back into gear in terms of being a productive writer again. I hit these bumps in the road every so often. Some have to do with the lazy and some have to do with the schedule and still others have to do with a sense of being overwhelmed by my functional reality. However, if one thing is abundantly clear through all of this it is that I do in fact have a writing goal. Several, actually.

I want to write a hit series of books for audible.

I’ve grown so accustomed to listening to audiobooks from authors who are primarily audible/amazon stars that I feel like this is a really great path. I want to add my voice to that eclectic canon and I do believe I have the sort of writing voice that works for it. What will the aforementioned series be? Not sure at this point. I know that I want to be able to write a fantasy series and maybe this is the venue for it.

I have my major market contribution to sci fi.

It is possible that once I complete it this December I will find that I have a lot more to say, but this first go at a major market pure sci fi is a good one. I’m greatly enjoying the writing of it though it is very difficult at times and marries two parts of my life that have forever been separate—law and science.

I want to write a comic book series.

Perhaps the more appropriate term is guest write. I’d love to give it a go. I don’t have a specific comic in mind. I have perhaps a dozen I am intimate with and would live to build upon. Honestly, I would kill an Iron Man-esque Wakanda story that talks about a kid growing up in that environment with the tech skills to challenge Ironheart but ends up in a situation where they are on the wrong side of the law and the policies of Wakanda puts them in a terrible position. In this idea Stark and the Panther are forced to track this teen down and try to put him down… or turn him back towards the light.
