While working on one of my Science Fiction stories, I was doing a thought experiment on various ideas and theories which now point towards the fact that we may very well be living inside a video game. That is we are just characters inside a very powerful near-real…

I tend to think of description in a point/counterpoint sort of way. I will provide detailed description of some settings and then say almost nothing about other settings. My theory is that certain settings have greater relevance than others, almost as if they are characters themselves. When it comes to people, I provide as little description as…
It was 13th April 2016. I know this because I kept the receipt in the book I bought that day, a book that would end up changing my life.
I’m writing a paranormal sci-fi fantasy novel and facing exact same issue. But this article has some good guiding tips. Thanks.
Perfection is hard. Really hard.
Painting that perfect picture.
Writing that perfect book.
Pitching that perfect product.
I’ll try not to give away any spoilers, but just watch episode 1 for the first ten minutes and see what you think.
John,
You beautifully enlightened us on what makes a person human.
This divine synergy that inspires contribution and makes the world far more enriching for all of mankind.
I was mesmerized and captivated taking this journey with you.
I’ve been playing images in my head. Sort of making believe how things might go, were I actually to act on them. When I’m imagining the things I would do, or the things I would say, or the places I’d go, I receive a small compensation for it. A tiny bubbling taste of serotonin. Yum. That was…
I would dare say it’s an inner force that I can’t ignore.
Thanks for the lovely article William, I was not aware that i should write the articles on medium for my data science and other work. As an analyst i was simply completing the work and submitting it. Thank you so much for your ideas. I will certainly start writing for my work form now on.
Cheers.
I’m a writer who doesn’t quite write, who isn’t quite right.
I guess, as a Millenial, I´m pretty old fashioned. I still use a pen and a paper to write my thoughts and ideas. Most people would congratulate you on the fact that at least you write something. There´s some mental energy being used in a productive manner…
I joined a special writing group
To say what I could write
I was sitting in the Landscape Restaurant, on the Hobart waterfront, thinking about what my abiding memories would be. What I would take away from this weekend in Tasmania. What would stick long in the memory. As I turned the page on this brief chapter, what would stay…
Like a coloration, we are in this world. Adding spice and colour with distinctive traits and manners and approaches to living life.
Uniqueness encompassing opinions and belief as we are different with different approaches to life and the things we do, we paint the world in our uniqueness.
It’s hard to write about ourselves.
At least it is for me. Very hard. There is a spark of self-promotion and at the same time another one of humbleness which makes me look down to my achievements and bow towards the others while they pass and write about themselves. I feel like I am and…
Actually, you can immediately import your post from your blog. Medium will add the canonical tag (and backdate to the original date) so your post will remain the original article for Google.
You have to wait a couple of weeks if you republish on Medium without the importing tool.
“I could have said that.”
“Written that.”
“Sang that.”
“Recorded that.”
“Created that.”
“Made that.”
Tim, I agree and I’m absolutely convinced that Medium cannot be the primary home of your writing if you are serious about your writing or your related business in general.
But I’m even more pessimistic.
I’m not sure Medium is interested in you as a writer. Your posts just live a couple of days and…

Well…I get used to take visual notes while I was in University. Being surrounded by crative people makes you see the note-taking as a funny way to attend a meeting and keeping that notes in your notebook (or napking) forever.
Let it go or let it be. A note to self.

Most relationships, be it platonic or romantic, begin in what our society has so fittingly labeled the honeymoon phase. We don’t have to put much into it. It is naturally ignited with passion, and possibly tons of supper at 2 am just because we feel like…

When I realized that my brain was about to burst at the amount of thoughts that had piled up for years, probably unwillingly, I decided to set pen to paper.

I struggle with perfectionism. Very cliché, but this is reality.

I am writing this between panels at the When Words Collide conference for readers and writers in Calgary, Alberta. I feel like more of an imposter than usual this year, because I haven’t written anything to speak of in close to two years, and I’ve all but stopped reading anything that’s not on a screen.
I feel writing clears our head. I resorted to personal writing but then, this slight possibility that someone could connect to what my state, situation or thinking pattern ; this is just too amazing to forgo.
For my upcoming Paranormal sci-fi fantasy novel, I have to at times write pages and pages in a day because I’m so bristling with ideas. But “sitting on it” is technique that has immensely improved the quality of my scenes and had also helped me write them faster. Thanks for sharing this

“Bucket List Item #2: Sex On The Riviera”
My favorite local coffee shop closes at 6 PM every Friday night, along with 99% of all other businesses. Why? Because nobody came when they stayed open later. What?! Nobody came because nobody knew to come! There is nothing else to do in town, and so the problem is marketing.
Such an important reminder. Thanks!

Stories are the most powerful tool to connect the world. The more stories we share the more we build a foundation for understanding one another, especially when it’s a sensitive topic such as this one.

I appreciate the comment, my friend.It’s always a pleasure to hear from you. 👊
