Daniel #2 Thanks so much for your comments. And, since you seem familiar with this sort of stuff, I have a few more questions (if you don’t mind). Would a wound from a laser weapon be about as dangerous as a wound from a normal gun or would they be more deadly? Would the wound be burned at all? How much could a laser weapon go through before the…[Read more]

First, let me say I really liked it how you took a Dickensian twist to the street and identified each house or building by its shrubbery. That was so cool.

Most of what I have to criticize (that’s such a harsh word) has to do with style. Now. The butchery.

I had a lot of the problems I’m seeing here when I started out, so I was able to recognize…[Read more]

Well, I’d have all their vehicles be bulletproof. And maybe they could be set up so you could drive them into the water and they’d submerge and slip in or out of places that way. Also, weapons (lethal or stun type guns) could be in place…out of sight, of course, but in place for easy defense. They could also probably pick up all kinds of…[Read more]

Daniel#2 Space travel…I think I might comprehended about half of that. But it’s still cool. I don’t have space travel in this book but I’ll have to remember that for sometime else.

Do you have any thoughts on laser weapons or the possibility of laser weapons that will shoot a programmed distance and then ‘fizzle out’ so they are lethal after…[Read more]

Oh… ow ow ow ow… reading through this thing has given me a thinking-headache. Numbers… are not my forte. Whew!
Y’all have no idea how much power you have to be able to understand these convoluted mechanical and mathematical formulas.

I think I’ll stick with atoms, neurons, protons, electrons, ions, and molecules. They’re so much simpler.

Can I ask a question?

What exactly IS NaNoWriMo? I know it’s basically when you try to write 50,000 words in one month, but what IS it? Where did it get its start? Is it a competition? Is it a curriculum?
I’ve only just really recently started hanging out with other writers (primarily on this forum and a few blogs) and I’ve heard some great stuff…[Read more]

Fine indeed.

So does anyone else have anything to say on cliffhangers?

Good.

Now let’s move on to cliched titles. I didn’t originally plan to discuss this on this topic, but I glanced at my title for the topic and noticed that it mentioned cliched titles. So.

What does anyone have to say on cliched titles? Anything? Who wants to give a list of…[Read more]

What if you had gloves that came up to your elbow; tight, skin-fitting type gloves so you could use your whole lower arm?

Oops…

For communication, you could have some sort of skin colored patch, like a small circle sticker, that could fit in a persons ear and be practically invisible. That could be good for incoming communication anyway. For outgoing you could either have small microphones on a shirt, or maybe even something that melds into the skin of the hand or face so…[Read more]

Okay. I think I got it. 😛

I respect the Constitutional right of every American citizen— um wait. That won’t work. Heehee…

I respect the basic human right of every human being to have an existential crisis.

There. I said it.

A Short Story

‘There was a business run by it’s CEO. There was an employee in this business. This same employee wanted to start his own business as a kickoff of his employer’s business. The products were similar. So they gave it a shot.
The employee’s business got a lot of good publicity from his employer’s well known business. They were off to…[Read more]

You’re having a crisis over your existence, to break it down simply.

@daeus: I had that moment too. It’s actually about a color blind person in a dystopian world divided by colors. I wouldn’t do a Google for that, though. It probably wouldn’t come up. Though if you look up his name, you should find a website.

Whoa, Ezra… I’m bummed it happened too. It is a decision I do not fully understand.
But that was not…[Read more]

Oh dear.

What does that mean, anyway? Existential crisis? What IS that?

@sarah-h Those are some wonderful ideas. Do you (or your brother) have any other thoughts on futuristic technology for the ‘Futuristic Weapons’ thread? 😉

Your mom is in the kitchen preparing to can her special recipe of cinnamon apples.

You come into the kitchen and notice the brilliant red solution she has prepared to soak the apples in.

Your first thought is POISON.

You know you’re a writer.

Hm… try giving the floor a character. Benign. Gentle. Winning. Peaceful. ‘Don’t be fooled by the floor’s peaceful looks…’

I don’t know, what do you think?
