I don’t know why but I was thinking about writing a scifi book today. Actually I randomly thought about it a earlier this week but wrote some stuff for it today since I was off from my other projects. I had thought of what I thought was a pretty cool setting for a sci fi story, and I thought of a theme I wanted to explore in that setting. That is kind of backwards from how I normally write, since I don’t usually think of a setting then try to make up a story for it, I usually have some kind of plot in mind then make the setting, or do the both at the same time.

Anyway, after I was thinking about it a bit and I couldn’t think of an actual story to put in that setting that would fit the theme. I wanted to do a more political type story without a lot of fighting or anything, and I was having trouble thinking of a main conflict for the story because of that. I was worried it might be kind of a bad setting after all but I was brainstorming today since I was off, and I came up with a good idea, that would fit the setting and the theme I had in mind, for a more political story.

Well I don’t know when I will have time to write a book on a random idea I just had, but it was a lot of fun just doing a bunch of world building for that setting today. It was probably really good writing practice too.
