Writing
about Post-Apocalyptic Hollywood and Santa Monica
Writers of post-apocalyptic fiction have
the interesting task of taking the world in which we live and transforming it
into an entirely different reality. For Day
Zero, I chose Hollywood and Santa Monica, California, as the primary
setting for my novella. Why those two cities? For one, I’m very familiar with
them. I’ve spent a lot of time in southern California, visiting the Walk of
Fame and Santa Monica Boulevard. It’s always best to base fiction on the legs
of reality, so I went with what I knew.
I also recall asking myself the question, What would happen if Hollywood became
uninhabitable? It’s interesting to think about the city without the glitz
and glamour, with only the threads of civilization hanging on. I researched and
visited famous places like Wilshire Boulevard, the Santa Monica Pier and Millions
of Milkshakes on Santa Monica Boulevard. I believe grounding a story in
something that exists makes it relatable to the reader – and fun for the
author!
Thanks so much for posting - really appreciate it! :)
