Well, I haven’t included not a lot of sex anyway. I wanted a story that didn’t require it. Same for swearing, mostly, though one very strong supporting character does indulge in some salty language.
Violence is a tool I’ve used in a rather savage way at times. If the protagonist is fighting for the and is a believer in the end often justifies the means when is involved you may expect some action of a terminal kind.
Short answer, it happened this way after thinking about who would be least likely, and what would generate significant challenge for the protagonists.
That would be me. A mighty and fine individual.
To me the “C” sounds pretentious but there is already a Richard Holmes on Amazon. Dammit. He’s a historian, looks clever. Nice name tho.
For my day job I run Elite-ID – a tech based company. Keeps me busy.
Considering I’ve spent maybe 5,000 hours (2.5 million words at 500 per hour), I’m thinking a part time job would have paid a while lot better. At $20 per hour that starts to become attractive.
More seriously? Planning would have been a good thing. Taking a course in creative writing wouldn’t hurt either (that is me as a student mind you). I suppose many things could have been changed and done better… but you know… it has been fun and that’s all that matters.
Damn right it is. There’s no fun in dumb and simple and the story line would be crap. Without a protagonist with ‘special powers’, mate, the story gets boring real quick!
That said I went to a Thor movie. Crikey. The Stellar Universe by comparison is a factual documentary.
I appreciate that it might well be hugely annoying to purchase my book off Amazon then find it has been updated. That would annoy me.
The reason is that I do like to add more content, to correct minor issues, to re-dream and document those dreams.
Maybe you can think of it as a continuing journey.
I suppose it ends the same as Star Wars ends, just like Star Trek. It doesn’t.
I have mentioned that over the years I’ve accumulated 2.5 million words of dreams. As Of 2018, I’ve published maybe 200,000 of them. Clearly we have a long way to go.
As of October 2018, I have a large update to The Camper happening and the first book in the 3rd era is nearing completion.
Finishing, let alone creating a ‘done’ is near to impossible!
Sure. Show me the money, and George Clooney plays me.
Thanks for coming – Richard
