#WritersCoffeeClub Mar 1st, What is the fundamental goal you seek to achieve with your current WIP?
To continue to earn a living as a working novelist.
Beyond that: to mercilessly mock the messianic singularity/AI religious beliefs of our tech billionaire overlords, using fiction as a weapon. And also to entertain my readers.
Really, do I need anything more? (I've got a load of contributory goals, but those are the big ones. EDIT: and to write a kick-ass sequel to the book I just delivered.)
