Hi Friends
So, a friend stated yesterday that this crisis should inspire me for a novel, I answered that I had already begun a novel revolving around it and a group of people confined in a sub, for a NaNoWriMo challenge. I wrote about half of that novel during the month of October 2016…
The title is “Deep waters”.
And coming to think about it, it’s quite weird that the very subject is about a group of renegades of all nationalities and walks of life (doctors, geophysicist, scientist, nuke researcher, biologists, pshychotherapist, artists, outcast…), confined in a clandestine submarine, escaping the mercenaries set to kill them and eradicate them paid by repressive authorities of their governments and countries, with as backdrop the collapses of democraties and politic systems known until then (it it set in 2056), massive destruction of the ecosystems, huge climate changes, and spreading of deadly infections, notably pulmonaries, and with a growing advocacy for “neutrality” in gender identification, and reorganization of countries and geo-political aeras of influence, constraint and “retraining” of minorities in camps…
Due to all the reasearch I had to do, it went on very slowly. (I had to understand thoroughly ocean acidification and how a nuke sub works, among other things.) I have had barely time to continue since the end of 2018, but those past days, I have felt like I have to finish it now. Several friends and familiy members have already read the first draft as early as Nov 2016.So, for those interested, I’ll set up a link with a password on my blog for you to read it, if you like.
Comment, DM me, and let’s make this a collaborrative work >> your interest in it fueling my creative tank to finish it rapidly.
Let’s see whre this leads us. Thanks for your time.
Stay safe at home..

Indeed the constraint pushes us to be creative within a frame that paradoxically can boost our energy! your creativity is inspiring. xx
I’d love to read a post about your thought on all this. It’s great that you’re so busy, though I’ve also felt a greater pressure to be productive and more pressure from work. It’s been a very useful experience to reflect though and I’m trying to really harness creative energy when it’s present. Xx
THanks Julia. Deep Waters is set in a submarine, so I had to do a lot of research, and watch mpvies and read reports, articles, and books on the subject. The hero being a physicist, I had to get familiar with tat too as well as ocean ecosystems. It was extremely fun and intereting to gather so much info and to learn. But it takes ages… Ye I was happy to do it. I must finih it, bt for the time being, although confined, times are just crazy right now and I’m busier than I have ever been in a very long time, much stress too. I’ll write about it in a later post. once the dust has settled a bit… much love, take care dear. xoxo
I’m just catching up with posts and wanted to let you know I’m looking forward to reading Deep Waters. I’ve always wondered about the research behind stories. I’m sure it’s very interesting and inspiring but must feel at times like a restriction on on your time/creativity. I’m not a writer, but I imagine it’s similar to having an image in your head of something you want to paint and being unable to create it. But then, through studies, research etc. you see yourself improve also.
