The saying is that repeating something and expecting different results is the very definition of insanity. These words are misattributed to Albert Einstein, which is funny because that's sort of EXACTLY what you do with science, you repeat yourself to see if what you did was the result of your circumstances or some truth of the universe.
I feel like we writers often feel this quote because we embark on the craziest of journeys. Imagine sitting down to write a document night after night for the better part of a season, editing the document for the better part of another season, ignoring friends and family in the hopes of being let through the velvet rope to the party based on actions taken a year ago. But things that got people into the party last year, don't get them in this year. Vampire novel? Ha! Not since 2012... but maybe now is the time. You came ready to dance with a Dystopian in 2017? Sorry about that.
Still, we set sail with the hopes that there will be a slip custom made for our boat across the great storms of query land in a year. As in, a year from now, I'm hoping there will be a place for my really twisted Sci Fi about love, loss, and technology we don't understand (which describes so many sci fi that it's almost funny).
Anyway, all this to say that I have once again thrown my hat in the ring. I am repeating myself in the hopes of a different outcome.
I mean, I'm not repeating myself, I came with a new novel, a new outlook, and a new idea. Okay, that last one is just like last time because I always have a new idea. It's just the way things work.
