Blogger cum novelist

Firstly, what is with the word cum? Am I using it right here? I know you’re snickering either way.

Anyway, heres my idea for my novel, B.C.

It’s going to be science fiction because I just lurrvveee science fiction and I think that there’s a higher chance of Oprah condoning it with her Book Club Stamp because she lurrrrveeesss science fiction too.

Actually, I just checked on wikipedia and it says that everyone lurrrrvvveeeess science fiction.

The story is set in the not too distant future so you’ll have a better grasp of understanding the concepts. I think I’ll throw in a scene where the characters are shopping at priceline so readers will say ‘holy cow! I shop at priceline!! Its like reading a mirror!’

The protagonists name will be Linzzy, the near futuristic way of spelling Lindsay.

Linzzy and her partner Ron want to have a baby and this is the story of their quest to become fertile.

In the near distant future, the menstrual cycle has been eliminated and the whole process is now backwards. Linzzy is 25 and wants to conceive so she sends her application via fax to the Birthing Commission (B.C) hoping that this will be the first step towards giving Ron a son. All she needs is 12 months worth of period pills (PP) where she can have a steady flow and build up those uterus walls ready for sperm and egg to meet and embed.

But Linzzy didn’t come down in the last shower, she’s heard of the rejection stories and seen the women return to their highflying multimillion-dollar jobs and periodless lives. Still, this seems like the next step with Ron, and Linzzy is determined to make a mini-me.

Of course, something goes wrong and the formal interview with officials at the B.C quickly turns into a heavy interrogation about the intricate details of her social status (“how many toilets do you have at your residence?”). However, this is just a rouse to cover the real concern: Ron.

Ali, Linzzy’s caseworker from the B.C, is a sweet gentle soul who, at 40 years of age has lived through the 90’s and seen the worst. After receiving Linzzy’s file by mistake she decided to take it instead of returning it to the correct officer. She gives Linzzy the strength she needs after discovering Ron’s dark secret that could damage any chances of a baby and a happy ever after.

B.C in stores in the near future.
