I just started my first "real" job as a software engineer (did some freelancing and remote work in college) so I have had to put some of my side projects on hold. But I am working on the 2nd draft of my novel!
It's speculative fiction in a Ballard / Pynchonian vein, focusing on a patch has been developed that replaces the biological need for sleep. So I'm exploring what it would be like to live in a world without sleep and dreaming, including economic, aesthetic, and political effects. I've structured the work in two parts: the lead up to the development of the patch and then 50 years after its introduction and subsidization by the government.
Heh, well I need to finish this draft and then have a professional editor go through it - and then of course I need to have a publisher house accept the manuscript. But thankfully I know a good amount of people from school who do publishing work in NYC so we'll see how that goes. If not, I'd be more than happen to send a manuscript over to you once I'm done!

Awesome! What's your novel on? Best of luck getting published!

How can I get it once it comes out? It seems really interesting.
