Hi,
I am getting bored with my novel. It's about a society that has run out of gasoline and everyone has to walk everywhere, America is rioting and people are hiding in the wilderness to survive. There is no food.
It's not exciting enough.
I want to add a twist: a crazed inventor thinks he has discovered the answer to the oil shortage: take dead bodies and compress them under artificial conditions that replicate what organic waste experienced for millions of years, and turn them into...MORE OIL. In other words, the dead become a brand new industry, and this leads to all sorts of complications....
Too crazy? Can I change this to a horror story, 10K into the novel? I wrote my first short horror story recently and I think I liked it, Maybe I want to go back to that...
thanks for any input...i think too much, especially out loud.
