While I was away, I started on a new novel. I am about 45,000 words in but here is the first page. (pre-edit so may not reflect final work) Looking for comments on tone and author's voice. #booksky #scifi #writing #fantasy

Sorry, been away for a while. My main PC fried and I have been working on recovering a lot of my data. But I will try to post more often again.

Quote about writing:

"When you write a book, you spend day after day scanning and identifying the trees. When you’re done, you have to step back and look at the forest.” -Stephen King from "On Writing"

Tim Burton wisely said about plot: “Every story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. Not necessarily in that order.”

Quote from a Poet

"Life - the way it really is - is a battle not between Bad and Good but between Bad and Worse."
-Joseph Brodsky (Russian-American Poet)
Bonus Brodsky Quote fitting in today's climate:
"There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them."

Currently Reading!
I like having multiple books going at the same time for when I take time from my writing to read.
Oldies:
"Ringworld's Children" by Larry Niven
"Deadspawn" book5 in Brian Lumley's Necroscope series
Newer
Book4 in Matt Dinniman's Dungeon Crawler Carl Series
