Giving my books away free, by email, in PDF Format.
DM me and I'll send them.
No tricks or stupidity. Not wanting anything in return. If people want something to read in isolation, I won't ask them to buy any of them.
It's all I have and all I can give.
Please, pass it on.
Sometimes, setting up a much larger impact requires soft, controlled use of dialogue.
Clearly, subtlety is going to be lacking if you are constantly trying to shift the power dynamic of your characters.
I can show you clear examples of how that works well, in my own writing.
@HJamesWrites Let the characters get you there.
If they're well-rounded and part of the flow of the story, their choices and actions will always lead you to that point in their journey.
If you are generating novels with AI, you are objectively NOT the author of those novels, and you ARE harming other writers. Garbage books flooding algorithms make it more difficult for good books to be seen.
Is that because you fear what society would think of you, or a moral choice?
Does it stop you imagining the story in your own mind? Are you simply editing and curating, or are you frightened of being seen to think such things?
What limits?
The only limit to writing is the limit of human imagination.
Societal norms are something we choose to adhere to. Not a limit though, only a factor on how we want to be seen, as a person.
Given the arc of the story, my writing is purposefully constrained.
Fourteen. Excluding inclusion in anthologies, including fiction and non-fiction, and novellas.
It would have been lovely to find a wider audience, but I never have the mkney for distribution. Though, I do get exceptionally good reviews.
It seems like we need two vehicles at the moment. Urban electric, extra-urban non-electric.
Sounds like a Hybrid could work well.
I'm neither for one or against the other. There are just rational arguments that hold well in different circumstances.
Limited perspectives don't.
Why do you think the Model Y was the number one selling vehicle in the US last year?
You aren’t voicing some unknown pain point. This is a 2015 argument.
How many times do you stop to fill your tank when driving around the city? I feel bad for you having to drive to a gas station instead of just charging overnight in your garage.
Can you give an actual comparison that includes the cost of lithium in production, transportation and in waste management?
It might well be that the operational vehicle is 'cleaner', but there is the question of what it truly costs the planet.
It isn’t about how fast you can pump gas. It is about boldly going where others have gone before, but without the pollution. Heck, you might save a whale. Or find Spock. I bet you might even zip along quietly into undiscovered country. It’s like a game of 4D chess, your opening move is key to the entire game. "This air, which is keeping us alive, is thinner than your skin. It's so fragile."
"I'm trying to do less of everything, to own less of everything, to be less of everything." How about less pollution?
Ever thought a powerful home cluster could fit next to your coffee mug?

Compact enough for your desk, mighty enough for your projects.
@PretzelLogic@WilliamShatner It's probably not going to be worse than when the seas boil and shipping is no more.
Mind you, a decent diesel engine can probably run on zombie juice.
Needs a bit of thought, though.
