Dark Dawn Prewriting

Gods I feel so blocked, I mean, I’m like enthusiastic about starting a book that wants to be 200 pages, about the length of a Toni Morrison novel, around 250 pages, but 250 very action-packed pages. Some of the action is inside someone’s head, while she is on an alien space ship. The story is full of campy jokes, and is meant to be campy, campy, campy. Unfortunately today, my brain wants to make sure that I am tired from waking up way too early because I was busy chasing instabilities, like 130 at 11:00 p.m. which meant my basal rate was too high.

Just seeing the images in my head with the action-packed stuff is making me dizzy. My own work scares me. I do have Mexican-American characters though. What I’m confusing myself so much about though is what happens first? Do I have three acts? How to make it an action-packed story? I mean, it has to be a wild ride. Not every science fiction novel has to be long, I mean look at Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Its short but it got turned into a movie. I know the first DarkDawn book will take place in somebody’s mind, on a Spaceship because she gets abducted but the aliens read her mind to see her reactions to their plans. This is all that is in my head right now. All of it. Yes, I’m confused. I mean a plot outline has to be done first. Other books are longer. What usually pops into my clairaudient little head first is the length of the book. I need to do a massive plot outline. I ask the book how long it wants to be. It isn’t my decision, the book has a life of its own. It practically exists in another dimension, this is what being psychic does to a writer.
