Whenever I'm at a loss for words of how to start a new journal entry or any type of writing I always go to one of my favorite journal writers and start as she did, "Begin here." That's really all it takes - a start, a place to put down roots and let something new grow. That is what this blog is - a place to put down roots and let something grow. I have an idea of what I'd like this blog to be but I also know I want it to grow into whatever it is supposed to be - whatever that is.
I know this blog will be completely influenced by my personal opinions - thus the title "In My Humble Opinion." That caveat gives me free range in expressing myself without stepping on anyone's toes. I know this blog will be about books. I am a bookaholic. I collect books, read books, love to touch, smell, and hoard books. I want to write book reviews of books I currently have read and books that I've read in the past that I loved (or hated). I know this blog will be about my chosen career - thoughts and opinions - the evolution of my personal approach to therapy. Sometimes this blog will be about my opinions about news items - but not very often. I don't intend to use this blog as a political forum or soap box. Sometimes this blog will be about my daughter who is on the autism spectrum and is probably bipolar too. She is 12 1/2 years old and we're just beginning to realize the magnitude of what her situation means to me and my husband.
So, here we go...
Hello Rebecca:
ReplyDeleteI thought you'd might enjoy a free advanced release e-copy of the brand new sci-fi fantasy comedy 11,984. This is not a conventional novel. It contains a lot of creative innovations, including punctuation from the future.
Thousands of years in the future, humanity has finally eradicated war, poverty, and all forms of human suffering. With no problems or unanswered questions remaining in the world, everyone is bored out of their minds, that is until the sun starts putting on a light show, the first warning sign it's getting ready to supernova!
Our heroes from the year 11,984 are your typical family of two mothers, three fathers, a couple of kids, and plenty of robots. Fun-loving Troll, so called because of her giant troll doll hair(They don't have names in the future, or wear clothes) is the world's leading hydrologist/interior decorator, whose plans to retire quickly change when faced with the drought to end all droughts. Bulb, bald head glowing like a lightbulb, is the cranky Minister of Rational Thought. His faith in science is tested by the total collapse of society. Last but not least is Litterbot, the clumsy garbagebot who gets no respect, and whose highest priority--to clean--is frustrated by a world without messes.
As the family works on building an escape spaceship, the sun bombards them in changing colors, which unbeknownst to them causes radiation insanity. The sky colors keep growing stronger, and these totally peaceful people are at each other's throats. It gets so bad their bodies mutate (which helps them work faster) and world computer crashes (forcing them to read primitive paper books, and rely more on Litterbot.) Will they launch before getting smashed to pieces?
My first humor novel, Foxavier and Plinka, was published in 2013, and is also available.
May I email the complete 11,984 manuscript of 75,000 words?
Thank you.
