I want to wander through a story thick and dripping with an almost claustrophobic atmosphere. I realised that, while my writing is going well at the moment – the story is opening up, the characters are developing – one of the most important elements still needs some serious development. Currently, the atmosphere is almost non-existent. It is there, and of course this needs time to develop, but if this is some dystopian society on the brink, where is the pain, the suffering, the need for change, revolt and revolution?
I want you to feel like you are living in a fish tank. I want you to see the camera watching your every move. I want you to know that they know exactly where you are. They even know what you’re going to do before you even think about it. I want you to feel that.
