I am
pleased to announce that I have started working on a sequel to project neo,
all efforts related to this sequel will be collectively known as project X
to learn more about it set your mouse's coordinates to the star field
appearing at the bottom of the links column. This will reveal a wormhole
that will take you to the sequel's web page.
The
villager elders (a.k.a. G-20 leaders) insist that I be a blogger check me
out at blogpost by clicking on the IDK URL.
The concept for the novel was inspired by an article I read about
Near Earth Objects, That explains the initials for the project name. These
objects were asteroids that contained trillions of dollars of ore
·I outlined a story about a mining space station and its crew mining
such an asteroid, I had not conceived of the vile mega corporation, Gemcore at
this stage
Being a software developer the primary focus was on dreaming up new
technologies and integrating them into the plot. The reason why the entity
attacked or how he did it wasn't well defined at this stage.
Created a poster that summarized and promoted the novel. You can check it out
by clicking on the poster link, located in the link sidebar
Began emailing parts of the novel to my friends to get feedback. Even invited
Orkut members to read an exciting excerpt from the first draft of the novel.Thanks
for the feedback guys!!! If you would like to read it to click on the excerpt
link.
Added more depth to the story and characters by writing their back stories.
Identified Islamic Motifs that I consciously or unconsciously included in the
story.
While writing the last chapter the title occurred to me, its a secret for now
Working on the last section hope to get it published soon
Past the 40,000 word milestone, officially making my manuscript of novel
length.
Until a benevolent publisher bestows the gift of Project Neo on the world, my
legions of fans can keep content with some nifty schematics of V-323! Click on
the stellar schematics link.
The zip file, found on the font page, has been updated with brand new fonts so
that you can fully enjoy Project X's web page. Use the right hand side to get there.
Nothing in this world can happen without a bit of give and take. That is why I
am trying to drum up interest in projects neo and X (take the wormhole to see
what's next). Keeping watching this
site because I'll soon let you know where you can find a short story that
bridges the gap between these two tales.
Finished the short story plan on sending it off to a sci-fi magazine. Wish me
luck!
I
have also been promoting this website so that I can get a decent amount of
traffic here. Yahoo's promotion tools aren't much help so I have been posting
links on blogs.
Wow that self promotion seems to be paying off my site statistics indicate
that people are actually viewing this page. I decided to clean up the look and
feel of the website as it was becoming a bit gaudy.
It's highly recommended that you download the zip file, found on the font
page. It has been updated with brand new fonts so
that you can fully enjoy the redesigned web site. This site looks completely
different on computers that don't have these fonts. Plus what's the harm in
adding some really nifty fonts to your collection?
Regular viewers of this website might have noticed that I retracted a
statement. I said that I wasn't planning on starting a blog. Well as you can
tell from the menu bar I have and its really taking off. I get at least five
visitors a day. That's a big deal for me. However only a few wind up over
here, despite a teaser button on the blog tempting them to enter the site.
I've
been wracking my brain trying to think up new content for the website so
people will come visit. The content has to be related to the story yet not
give it away, or else there would be no reason to buy now wouldn't it? So I am
giving you a precious resource that I used while writing the novel. Its a
timeline that gave me a quick overview of how and when events preceded each
other. Naturally it is the abridged version. Click on the timeline link.
I dig transformers in all its incarnations and in celebration of the
democrats securing the nation state known as the U.S. of A I am giving away my
first novel for free. Our new leader the alpha male known as Obama has
inspired us all I pray for the safety of his family, god speed to the secret
service. You may download the PDF from the sidebar "OBAMANITES". I hope you are an
independent thinker 'cuz I could use the color purple around here.
Hello Dawn!!! A Pakistani Newspaper I've been following ever since they
appeared on teh Interweeb. Now they have their own TV station which features
flat out rock hard programming I want to carry there babies!!!!!!! Pak com
sultanat, Pak sir zameen, shadbad. Worf. "No Vearnaughts allowed." noam
saying? read my blog to find out what L.E.O. is, praise the lord.
Oh
and hears what Baen had to say about N.E.O. "Dear Author,
Thank you for showing us your novel, Reapers of the Damned. Unfortunately it
does not seem right for us.
Reader Comments: You need to write action sequences showing the weaponry of
the station, instead of just telling us. This is a
nice tale, but not quite ready for publishing." They called me Author, OMG!
OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!
Now
let's talk a bit more about L.E.O. it stands for Low Earth Object. That
implies taking the low road from here in out. Why have I gotten off of my
AT-AT boom box and now riding a pony? Because I got engaged to a good friend
of mine. My road to finding true love wasn't easy, I faced depression,
ridicule, persecution, harassment, discrimination and out right hostility. I
try acting miserable to get sympathy from people and when I don't want any
company I act rude. Most of the time I like being left alone. Hey cool
Metallica won a grammy gotta go buy their CD.
Of
course Obama's victory is primarily an African-American victory. Me being a
Sunni Muslim from the state of New York I can relate and appreciate the
civil rights struggle carried out by the likes of Malcom X, the nation of
Islam and of course the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to pay
homage to this wondrous aspect of American Life I am redesigning the
website yet again check out my craftsmanship by browsing the portfolio bar.
Ta Ta For Now.
