Got a major milestone at work today with a new software release. Might finally have the energy to work on Book 2 some more. I've got a title and a few dozen paragraphs. Starlight & Spellcraft Book 2 - The Other Ship #booksky #scifantasy #scifi

Oh no. What did I do?

I've recently embraced the principle "What they don't know, they can't ruin." And I've avoiding telling anyone that knows me personally that I'm writing a book. This includes family and friends because I'm a fragile little flower and even people you love can be assholes.

Authors, if you see this, post the first line of your book! "The Redemption floated silently in the vast expanse of the void, its sleek, dark sphere hovering motionless against the backdrop of distant stars."

The scene was romantic. Fade-to-black. Very tasteful, non explicit. I wrote it. It's fiction. The people aren't real. I made the whole thing up. So why am I horny?

This is so true! Don't believe it? Ask yourself how many books *you* can read in the time it takes your favorite author to release the next book in the series...

Attended a funeral this evening (not mine). Lost count of the number of interactions that went like this... "How's it going?" "Alright. You?" "Doin' alright." (Silence) This included the grieving spouse. People just don't know how to communicate anymore.

Crazy thread. Every person's comments tell you a lot about the bubble they live in. Fascinating, really.
