I ended up doing a whole story about the truth behind the foundation myth, as it turns out, so that's another reason why I've since decided it's not wise to put the whole myth (or what I wrote of it) in the public. I would substantially rewrite it if I were to do that now.Tony Laplumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07854455859399339169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051839363797869923.post-75433964876980536182012-09-10T11:36:06.229-07:002012-09-10T11:36:06.229-07:00Was the Space Corps in that last story from Monora...Was the Space Corps in that last story from Monorama or was that something else?<br /><br />As far as names, I usually just look around me for inspiration: a baseball player or a singer or an author or sometimes just an object around me. Like one character in my book is named Mrs. Chiostro, the last name being a kind of coffee they were advertising at Starbucks when I was writing. I don't usually concern myself too much with the names someone else uses unless it's something dumb like someone planned to write a mystery series with a main character named Priscilla Presley. No, not THAT Priscilla Presley. Ha ha ha, what a funny joke. Not. That bit gets old in about five seconds. I suppose because it seems too precious to me.PT Dillowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394481476862013009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051839363797869923.post-38102654979365369672012-09-10T11:28:29.588-07:002012-09-10T11:28:29.588-07:00Wow Tony, this looks huge. Star Trek and Star Wars...Wow Tony, this looks huge. Star Trek and Star Wars are very different in tone, but the new movie is bringing them closer. What you have in mind sounds like a very expansive and detailed world. Cool.Maurice Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338165486757095191noreply@blogger.com
