Speculative Vision

Wow, that would be very cool for the book to be released on 7-07. I'm not sure it isnt possible.

As always, Bmat, impeccable advice! I too find the narration to be long and boring and cold...I'm just at a loss on how to present that information to the reader. Its valuable, borderline essential yet so hard to present. Mayhaps I will have to create a character just for this information...Thanks m...

Hey all, what follows is just a snippet from a too long book that I have been writing for far too long. My main question is this: After the first section I drop "out" of character and into a distinct narration. How does that fill with the rest of the text? Please comment on the rest of the work as w...

I have always likened self-publishers to astrologers. Why? Who knows?

Tonight, I have Astronomy Night for my Astronomy class (Complicated, eh?) but I think I wont go (But ...

I've posted a few times before, namely in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy piece feedbacks sections and because I think I'll be sticking around for awhile ( :D ) I thought I'd introduce myself properly. I live in Colorado, am a die hard Broncos and Rockies fan (I have a couple thousand posts at DenverBroncos.com ...

I am a firm believer in evolution, and I have some questions that I hope you could answer from a Creationist point of view. 1) Were (are) the dinosaurs part of God's plan (Please forgive me if the terminology is incorrect)? 2) How does one explain carbon dating, in terms with your beliefs? 3) How do...

Thanks all, you guys cleared up everything
