Here we'll chat about Science fiction and futuristic tech, mages wielding power beyond belief, post-apocalyptic landscapes, and gruesome murders, all written by authors who just won't shut up.

To date, I've interviewed over 70 authors, and until I find out what makes them successful, I'm not going to stop.

Communicating constantly with spiritual beings ... relatives or anyone. They're not your Creator, The Creator. John 15:26 is The Way. The Relationship with God, your Creator, The Creator, needs to be a person's goal in this life - traveling alongside God is important to assure a best path in our eternal journey.

@samuelmire9389 Agreed; everyone has their own struggles! Some people's struggles are objectively larger than other people's struggles, but each person's largest struggle is still the hardest thing they've ever encountered from their own perspective. We need to learn to be empathetic toward them. Also, how we handle our own struggles is what can define us.

I'm definitely more of a plotter than a pantser, with an outline that I follow with a little pantsing in between. That being said, two of my favorite scenes were completely off-book seat of the pants. But like you, I do a lot of the prewriting in my mind on walks.

I love this kind of thing. The blending of author's work passions into Sci-Fi writing. I read an indie book (soft sci-fi) called Engaged at Dawn, which was written by a 20 year veteran of the Coast Guard, and was about a cutter doing drug interdiction and finding aliens. No mainstream publisher would pitch or buy that, but indie is able. I've been interested in ants, and now am writing a serial called Space Ants, (audio released serials on my channel) which is a zero-tech biological novella.

As someone whose seen stuff teleporting and beaming off at the speed of light with my own eyes… I’d have to say that the tech is already here… and in our universe we can teleport, and beam vehicles off at the speed of light.. so the electron theory is probably a fact and not just a theory.

A long with, teleporting and beaming off at light.. forgot to mention that… someone or something has some crazy technology right now, somewhere on this planet. I’m hearing Alaska and Antarctica has some bases in the mountains, along with the ocean off the west coast of America. Also people coming out on Shawn Ryan Show. All I’m saying is, it’s either us (America) or it’s “aliens.” But it’s here rn and it’s here to stay 100%.
