Hiding in the shadows

see more This is Photobomb

The couple in the foreground of this picture are having fun, but not as much fun as their shadows. Look again you'll see what I mean.

I write a little different than most writers as on my first draft the plot and dangers are subdued and other things are pushed to the front. I believe this is because of my education as an English major. We poured over books and stories to find the deeper meanings. Often times concentrating on one line so long we lost the plot of the story.

I like to give the reader stuff to dig in to.

The problem is if I bury it to deep there is a good chance that the reader will miss it. Just like at first glance that photo just looks like a couple playing a game.

I find myself having to go through and emphasize the major plot points to make them clear. Risking the chance that I'm beating the points on the readers head.

It is always a tricky thing finding the right balance.

Super Space Battles

In my last poll I asked which ship(s) would win in a fight?

Enterprise A

Starbug

All the Tie Fighters

As far as the poll Enterprise A and Starbug were evenly matched with two votes each. The Tie Fighters got half as many votes with 1. So it would be an epic space battle if those two ships were to go at it.

On to the next poll.

A lot of people are talking about how the Republican candidates are trying to out do each other in denying science and reality. So here is the question:

How do you respond to reality?

I base all my decisions on it

I take the bits I like.

Ignore it, what could happen?

As always vote on the upper left hand corner of the page.
