I know some of you have a post-apocalyptic novel in your drawer. Who doesn’t? I have three. Try yours out on literary agent Andrea Somberg! She’s looking.

This comes just in time for me to add an apocalypse to my newest novel project. Thanks, Shya!
Just make sure it’s toward the beginning, so there’s as much post- as possible.
Sure thing. I just stuck this bit before the first paragraph:
“The apocalypse had just happened, minutes before. Now it was right after the apocalypse. In other words, everything from that point on could be considered post-apocalyptic.”
You could take a cue from Mel Gibson, and name the book “Post-Apocalypto”.
I was in a video store yesterday, and someone rented APOCALYPTO, and I kept repeating that word to myself, wondering what it meant. I couldn’t place it. (I never saw the Gibson film, even though a close friend told me that it’s worth seeing, being somewhat demented.)
I *was* trying to rent Costner’s THE POSTMAN, but the store didn’t have it. But I see it can be cheaply had through Amazon…
My memory of the Postman was that, though bloated, it was nowhere near as shitty as Waterworld, but it was already too late for Kostner.
I saw it at a movie theater in Zimbabwe.
