The Big Idea: A. T. Sayre

Sometimes you aim to write a novel, and sometimes you don’t but end up doing exactly that anyways. Such is the case with author A. T. Sayre, who wound up with a novel on accident. Follow along in his Big Idea to see just how The Last Days of Good People came to be.

A. T. SAYRE:

The Last Days of Good People is my first novel. And was completely unintentional. An accident, if you will. I won’t get into exactly how I came to accidentally write a novel (if interested you can read about that here), but sufficed to say this story is basically a novelette that kinda got away from me. Which is nothing new; I am ridiculously bad at estimating how long something I’m writing is going to be. I don’t think I’ve ever accurately estimated the length of any story I have ever written. I always underestimate. Sometimes, as in this case, by quite a lot. Some might think it’s because I have so much to say. But those who know me will tell you it’s because sometimes I just won’t shut the fuck up.
