"Resistance" and "Dabblers" 7/22/2013 7:12:28 AM
Progress on one, a review on the other. Back to writing "Resistance" this morning with a lot of progress made already. I also resolved some issues I had, things that were bugging me to get fixed. A good example is what to call the next generation of cell phones? Since I'm writing a few decades into the future, technology should have advanced a fair amount, and I wanted to name a device that indicated more than just a phone. Actually, what we think of as cell phones is already pretty advanced. I came up with a Universal Connection Device, referred to as a UniCon . It connects to people like a cell phone as well as to the Internet and just about anything else. People use them for everything in my future world, an idea which I know I need to embellish more in the manuscript. That's something for the editing phase, though.
In other news, as they say, a review of "Dabblers" appeared on Windy City Reviews on Friday, and a very nice review it is, too. I am humbled by the praise implied by words like "compelling," The same review should appear soon on Amazon and Goodreads , and I'm eager to find out how many stars go with it.
