Eleven Series To Continue in 2022

Say one thing about my reading over the past few years, say I’ve been pretty non-interested in series. The reason, or at least the one I most commonly give, is there’s been so many auth…

Another post on what I call "True" Omniscient POV (OPOV)—ie, the flavor of Omniscient* that is third-person point-of-view that shifts within a scene.

I'm crafting an essay on the topic and collecting my thoughts. The shade thrown at OPOV is one of my pet peeves.



*-the other two flavors being:
√ An omniscient narrator that is a character in the story, like Lemony Snicket or what-not
√ Zoom out introductory passages, often at the beginning of chapters, that set scenes with info that none of the characters could know

I am still, slowly writing an article on the presence of spirituality within Cyberpunk media. It's taking a while, but that's alright. I am deeply enjoying the process of researching this topic, and learning more about Cyberpunk as a worldview.

World War 1, and humanity's first time travel journey (they're referenced in Ch.16) ...ya did ask

Chapter 2 of the Turd -there's 19 of them so don't wanna tie up the promotion thread what with @Justin Swanton , @Bowler1 and @Toby Frost all publishing at the moment. Anyways, it's some light distraction that might hit the spot this weather. It'd probably work best as an audio drama but I'm gonna settle for ranting bits of it at a drunken crowd.

Got an idea for the March march micro challenge but if wandered too close to politics so blogged the thing instead (left, right, up).
