    Who would have thought such messed up people in such a messed up world could find peace? I enjoyed the beginning, was disgusted writing the second part, and then the third part saved the day. Cheers. I deserve a drink. That was one long month.

    (Vulgar) After finishing writing a raw story where the characters walked a path of shit and guts and pain and even more shit, I now feel an odd satisfaction. Quite right, this is what I should write? What kind of meaningless shit was I writing before? The ending turned out supprisingly well. I...

    What's the scariest book you've ever read?

    The scariest work of fiction I've read this year would be "Cat Out of Hell" by Lynne Truss, but my view seems to be a bit controversial. Perhaps it was my imagination and experiences with death that did most of the work. A pit of corpses is not an abstraction in my mind. And the callous...

    Scammer on the loose aiming at new authors

    I've got one this year, but I am a sporadic presence. If your stories are receiving serious attention, I'd say it would not be too surprising to receive one or two a month.

    You lived well True war is hell, yet we still went And there you fell - I saw it end You died, I lived - Am I to blame? No one said yes, yet I feel shame I saw them grow, your children small From toddling boys to six feet tall They found their ways, they studied hard Unlike their uncle they...

    Your experience of Active Shooter Drills

    We had drills - military drills. Schooling included basic military training and we were taught how to shoot. If you went to school in an urban area, your school likely offered a shooting club. Boys here usually learned hunting from their fathers or uncles. My father was a lousy shot, so I...

    What makes a writer?

    Time and a writing instrument - I prefer a pen.

    Gods of Light

    Roger Zelazny's Lord of Light is, arguably, an exception here. I can recommend you give it a read for research purposes. It considers light in a physical setting: as electromagnetic waves. Then again, it is a fantasy science fiction and may not fit your genre. You can find an audio on the Tube...

    Or maybe things are different now? I would not say "Привет, как дела?" (Hi, howzit?") to an older lady I am not acquainted with.

    This online-person is quite hilarious. I reckon I would still be laughing if someone socked him. Fortunately, people there seem to be quite tolerant of tourists.

    Well, since you own a country, you should visit occasionally. Otherwise, your citizens might embezzle your taxes.

    Anything is possible in a dream. If the dead can return to haunt you, I suppose it is possibly to mourn a loss that never occurred. I wonder: once he wakes and becomes aware of this reality, does his sorrow vanish?

    As someone who is unlikely to live to see 2077, I fully agree with the sentiment. My body had always been the one "material possession" I could rely on; to see one's capacity diminish is terrifying.

    Until the teacher in school brought out the fancy globe, I thought America was a country. However, I wonder, do they no longer teach geography in school?
