Your world, your rules. I am part of a Facebook group for sci-fi and fantasy authors. I have seen a lot of writers have questions about how certain matters are workable. The powers of Gods and Demigods, means of intergalactic space travel, attributes for specific characters, magical rules, and so on. One of the best things about being a writer is that you control these worlds that are inside your head. You make the world,
Why write? I write because there are worlds in my head that I feel the need to share. These worlds and characters have been swirling about for most of life. It began with sci-fi when I was nine. I called it Wildfire. Fifty pages, handwritten and illustrated…a world where a mad scientist invents robots that take over nearly everything.

I have been working on an epic sci-fi novel for almost two-and-a-half years. I have wanted to write something sci-fi for a long time now.

The elder wizard with the long, white pointy beard and staff; the dashing hero, able to avoid obstacles with little or no permanent
I will strive to avoid spoilers, but beware…if you have not seen the movie yet, you might not want to read this. Since I was first exposed to Star Wars (and FYI, I will nearly always refer to Episode IV – A New Hope as Star Wars), it has elated and inspired my imagination.

I have even more blogs for you to enjoy. Please visit my original blog website:
I post here twice weekly about my work with Positivity, Mindfulness, and Conscious Reality Creation. I’ve been blogging every week, without fail, since the beginning of 2012.
Mondays – Positivity (and related ideas for making choices and decisions in life).
Wednesdays – Pathwalking (my philosophy for consciously choosing how to live your life mindfully, on your terms).
