Thinking About Something

that says you see what you wish to achieve (write)

oh, sorry if you explained that already and i missed it or misread it.

Whatever happened about the radio interview you were going to do last year?

No, I didn't, but you caught what I was thinking.

The first paragraph of the sci-fi I was/am writing, tentatively titled Heroes of Scythe and Gossamer:

The dark surroundings I found myself in paralleled my mood; damp and black, swirling in a vacuum of apprehension. The sickly sweet breath of the alien night air was dripping with humidity and cacophonous with the cries of unfamiliar nocturnal insects whose songs - a strange litany dark with the unforgiving anxiety that only the truly alien can evoke - rose vociferous and sustained as if all at once protesting my intrusion into their night.

funny
same location and where i to write it
it may sound like paradise to the reader

same environment
different experience ?

Central to this new discipline is the idea that the 'soul' expresses itself in images, and that care of the soul requires that we pay great attention to the images we 'inhabit'.

On a personal note, what I'd love to read is a book about aliens that was truly alien. Where the relationships had to be explained without anthropomorphic content as to create the leap of conciousness which would truly enlighten the reader.

the prerequisite to know thy self
is
know what you are within that enables you to express that which you know (self)
the 2
something is alawys within something to express being something within

the know thy self was conceived in an era when it was believed only god (any god) and people possessed consciousness

thus it encourages people to express themselves as the god they believe in
and
no other way but that way because all things other than people are devoid of conscious thus are lifeless matter (inconsequential)
and
all people whom do not know the way of your god are ignorant because they have forgotten your way

this is the archetype of order local tradition style of most orders

while they seek the correct structure to fit their structure of order to make their order the universal order

Man, it would be so awesome to put these thought forms into a story.

are you wanting to write fiction or express your ideas?

i think you have to do one or the other.

I'm thinking about putting together a book. I have always felt writing to be my calling, and have written all my life. Yet here I sit behind a desk doing data entry and collections. But it has worked out well because I am in front of the computer all day, and as long as I get my scheduled work done for the day, I can visit GLP.

I have had a number of short stories and smaller articles already published. There was a publisher in the United Kingdom that was interested in some of my writings about 5 years ago now. I also had the publisher that did Jim Sparks book on his ET encounters, The Keepers, interested in my experiences and my writings, but that was in early 2008 when the economy tanked and they didn't feel comfortable doing it at the time.

God knows I have enough information written and in my head. I was thinking of putting it all into one book and tying it all together, but I don't think that is going to work well. I've got so many contacts now it is ridiculous, and I feel this is the time to do it, but I am having difficulty deciding what to make a book about.

I can edit myself and all that good stuff as well. I can publish via pdf or even finish one and put it on Amazon as a pdf download or Kindle book.

I've got hundreds of pages of all sorts of different topics, though to me they are all inter-related. Perhaps I will finish writing my lucid dreaming book for starts. I want to stay away right now from any of my ET experiences, as I still feel people are not ready to accept that reality. Then, there is all this technical stuff I write about.

I need to start organizing all this writing I do, both here on GLP and at my home office, so I can do something with my life.

I'm putting this out there for a couple of reasons. One is to get the ball rolling for me to start organizing and putting together all the information. Another is to get advice from you guys on what would be my best option as far as ingredients for getting a book done.

I would gladly purchase your book. You have much knowledge on this subject.

My advice, write it as if you were writing for a bright twelve year old. The info is hard to grasp without a prerequisite education on the subject matter. Montalk's "Fringe Knowledge For Beginners" would be a good model . Think of it as a long introduction to a behemoth second work.

Go for it.

My idea for that was to be 1 alien species that is at 3 different evolutionary stages, but are all existing in the same time frame. Not even the aliens know this, until the reader does, by the main character finding it out.

I could incorporate your idea into it and shift the concept a little, but again, it would slide in nicely to my overall idea.

Basically, the two main characters are somewhat consciously connected. When one of the characters gets taken by ET, she is killed, and her 'soul' floods into the alien systems, the alien systems being based off of our previous Golden Age thoughts...in other words working purely through electricity and magnetism...and consciousness.

By merging with them, she changes as much as the aliens change through her mergence. The leap of consciousness occurring, then discovered by the second main character.

Oh, and there are no humans in the story, though the two main characters are most like humans.

Wow. This won't impact you at all, but this is incredible. I've been mentally writing a book for ages now and keep meaning to get around to it but work gets in the way.

But as a coincidence, I texted my brother the other night to get his new home number to ring him and when he'd texted and I rang he siad, "That was amazing. I was just walking to my bookshelf to choose a book to read and a voice in my head said, "Tell [insert my name here] she should write a book; she's a natural born story teller". He said as he heard/thought that, at that second his phone went off with my text.

Anyway, then tonight I log in here (after being caught up in an ISP wide ban for days) and one of the first threads I click on is this one - not realising it's about writing.

Sorry, as you were. I just had to get that off my chest and I'll be keeping an eye on this to see if anyone has any good advice for how to go about getting published :)

And that is the rub. As novel conciousness sets the sects/cells apart dividing in a newsphere if you will. They diverge only to reconverge for the reason of hybridization/stabilization and reincorporating time lines as is oddly enough karmic due in unknowable depths.

I am working on a graphic novel and I can tell you that the best thing for you to do is to make sure that you have blood pumping through your body so take exercise breaks one of the things that Dan Brown did was he hung upside down from the bars and pull ups I mean you can exercise do yoga take some breaks.

Also when you are writing a book or even in my case making a graphic novel always always always have a skeleton for it because that always makes it easier and you won't get as stuck.

Have someone proofread it like maybe somebody on here or one of your friends.

Anyway that's my two cents I'm really excited to work on my book too, good luck to you!
