Some More of God’s Greatest Mistakes

Well, you may have noticed this poor blog may be dying. It served me well, until it didn’t. Like all such internet wonders it may one day rise again, as nothing really dies in the age of everything, but perhaps it will just fade away until one day consumed within a singularity.

I thought for those that still check in on me, though, I might as well give you an update. I’m focusing all my energy on writing the sorts of things which might one day be deemed worthy enough for publication somewhere. Writing on the blog was a great crutch, and one I’ll use again if I stop being able to write without an audience, but I’ve learned to work without it.

My new project is the longest thing I’ve tackled yet. Definitely headed for novella length at least, which I have mixed feelings about. I like the story enough to commit more time to it, though, and I have a few more ideas on the back burner which I’ll turn to if my interest fades.

The new thing is about a culture built on an asteroid wired throughout with explosives. Every citizen wears around their neck a detonator which would allow them to blow their entire little world to pieces, killing themselves and everybody else. I find the idea fascinating, if everyone had the ability to destroy everyone else if they were treated poorly or unfairly how would that change peoples behavior? And would it all go horribly wrong? (lol, of course it would!) Thus making it an excellent setting for a story.
