30 Days: Writing a Novel - Day 16



Finally I got ahead and wrote about 2000 words today. I can still manage to finish if I write 2500 words every day from now on. At least motivation today was better and I think that some passages I wrote are rather fluent.

I think that maybe you as the reader of my blog would like to know what my novel is all about instead of reading my rambling of how tough it is. So here is a short synopsis of the plot:

It is a science fiction novel which takes place in the more distant future of about 600 years from now. Society has progressed to a state where we managed to solve most problems of today thanks to the development of an artificial intelligence which regulates every aspect of economy, administration and even personal development of almost everyone on the planet. In this vision of the future everything is regulated very smoothly until a meteoroid strikes. The remarkable thing is that at first there is not a single reported casualty because the AI noticed the coming impact about 150 years before the incident and took all necessary measures (resettlement, etc.) to prevent any human loss. All this symphonic precaution from the AI supports the faith of the humans even more until a group of dead people are found at the site of the impact. They seem to have plotted a terrorist act against the AI and because they are the only casualties people begin to think that the AI condemned them to die which causes a loss of faith and uncertainty within the human community. So an investigative commission is formed to search for answers to the unexplained deaths.
