Juggling Novel Ideas | LOL 093

About this episode

Lex Starwalker discusses his progress on various novel ideas, societal influences on his writing, and the feasibility of courier ships in space.

I’ve started a few different novels, and I’ve hit some snags. I’ve had a couple new novel ideas as well. I share the ideas with you, my progress, and my thoughts about which of these books I’m going to write next. I also share some musings on the future trajectory of our society and how it’s affecting my worldbuilding. Finally I consider whether courier ships in space make sense.
