@ElChandler It is the Earth year 2027 in my novel, but the history of the planet Centrum Spatium goes back thousands of years, with a current constitution which is over 850 years old.
@WriteforLife6 International Cast
Two main characters with blond hair
Successful use of words over fists
Repeated attempts by antagonists to inflict mind control or memory erasure.
Most of the story from both novels takes place between the months of November-January
@ramblingeveron Most reviled? This one’s pretty low (13% Rotten Tomatoes), but I own it and enjoy it. The Body, starring Antonio Banderas, is about the discovery of a crucified body in a rich man’s tomb, and the firestorm the discovery sets off. Great concept, not sure why so reviled.
@Ineverglow It was a toss up between this and self-titled. Loved how the original band members got back together again and released this album at the same day as the start of our family’s 44 hour Amtrak trip to Chicago. Pretty much had it on repeat much of the way there.
I’m in such a pickle about who my four favorite artists are right now. Going old school tonight: Third Day and NTB for sure… Smalltown Poets… because they got the band together and produced 3 more great releases. David Meece is #4 based on his vast discography.
3 things you'll find in my books:
1. Witty dialogue
2. Resistance against “The Establishment”
3. Side Characters that often upstage the Main Characters
@WriteforLife6 Smokey Doolittle speaks every Homo Sapiens language to an extent, as well as Canis, Ursine and Avian. Newlyweds Freddie and Dhargey Escarra learned each other’s native languages: Spanish (Mexico) and Dzongkha (Bhutan), as well as English.
@Ineverglow I can certainly understand the arguments, esp. since it cost somewhere between $25-$40 to buy vinyl new now (as opposed to $8-10 when I was a teen). Still, listening to Randy Stonehill’s “Welcome to Paradise” album on vinyl is the only way to experience it, IMO.
Before I discovered Brazil’s Daniela Araujo in a YouTube “recommended content” in October 2019, I only knew about Latin CCM as mostly P&W music from Mexico. Since then, I’ve been exploring an entire genre of amazing 2020’s CCM music, extending from Mexico to Argentina.
@WriteforLife6 In Vessels of Wood and Earth, it’s the ability to use geographical places and things we know about in this world and still have those places and things around in the Usoniamatrist multiverse, but tweaking things just a bit.
