I look forward to yours, I want to see if I can start and finish it; if I do it's going to be a first! <br /><br />Where do you find time to write LL? You're always doing something or another and here you are busy writing at the same time. Do you sleep? ;-)<br /><br />Hope you have an awesome weekend! darlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04886502544010479581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732239755169187164.post-66980654380005534122013-05-24T16:43:22.775-07:002013-05-24T16:43:22.775-07:00WoFat - I figured there's plenty of stuff in y...WoFat - I figured there's plenty of stuff in your head, or written down, for the middle part - but trying to grab interest in the beginning seems difficult (I've STARTED reading more books than I've finished...), and ending it so it gets wrapped up, and remembered - that seems hard.<br /><br />LL - That is why I liked Oblivian - it was different, while not too hard to wrap your mind around.<br /><br />Race Bannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07810026474127212598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732239755169187164.post-39633862155951826262013-05-24T14:17:28.917-07:002013-05-24T14:17:28.917-07:00WoFat - yeah, that stuff in the middle is a beast....WoFat - yeah, that stuff in the middle is a beast.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732239755169187164.post-57058436115331909472013-05-24T14:16:51.073-07:002013-05-24T14:16:51.073-07:00Race, at the moment I'm on a roll with the boo...Race, at the moment I'm on a roll with the book as the plot develops toward the conclusion. Coming up with a concept in SciFi that isn't copying everyone else is a challenge. I did a lot of research and found that this particular story isn't a retelling of somebody else's. <br /><br />Part of it is universe building. Because I work with people at Cal Tech in their space science program, I've run the "alien atmosphere" and almost every bit of science past them for their input. It's science fiction but there is a remarkable body of scientific fact that underpins the volume of "what if".<br />LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732239755169187164.post-38352619575482686912013-05-24T07:06:43.388-07:002013-05-24T07:06:43.388-07:00Race: I don't know about LL, but for me the s...Race: I don't know about LL, but for me the start and finish of a novel presents no problem - it's all the stuff in the middle that's hard.WoFathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07616237986583760584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732239755169187164.post-38872940330539680242013-05-24T03:46:04.538-07:002013-05-24T03:46:04.538-07:00...but if the swords were...laser swords, that wou......but if the swords were...laser swords, that would AWESOME.
