I really like reading about Politics and Intrigue and Backstabbing, but I can't write it to save my life. (My brain isn't coily enough; I'm too basically honest.)
The novel I started pre-grad-school is good, or at least crit feedback has been positive, but I batted 0 on my agent search and a couple small press submissions. It's complicated, with politics and that sort of thing, and I love it so much. But I set it aside for now, because I feel like I can make it better in the future.
(My self-indulgent NaNoWriMo 2020 project is its own variety of hell, and I haven't queried it very much. I think I want to do something completely different with its concept.)
At some point, either late last year or earlier this year, I decided "well, what if I take my existing capitalist hell world and write about something with lower stakes?" One of my vague ideas was "It's DS9 but set entirely at Quark's. And there are lesbians, of course."
Which led me to today, where I realized, 25k into this project, that I'm basically writing a coffee shop AU of DS9. Uh, fun? At least it's catchy enough for a twitter pitch contest, I guess.
