Finding the time to write
Finding the time to write is tough, but here's how I do it. #indieauthor #MasterTheCraft
A few weeks ago I officially disconnected my internet service. There were a number of reasons that went into that decision, but the chief among them was that I was spending extremely too much time playing video games, binging on YouTube and Netflix, and endlessly scrolling through the Facebook timelines. Self exiling myself from the world wide web has been tremendously beneficial in terms of…

This week in reviews
So I’m reading a lot for my classes this semester so leisure reading (i.e. reading for this blog) has taken a hit, so I’m thinking that I’m going to be reviewing short stories for a bit as they’re well, short. I have several collections so there will be variety.
This week I’ll be reviewing two short stories from the collection Tomorrowland by Joseph Bates.Â
I haven’t completely decided which ones I’m going to review yet, but I’m leaning towards Mirrorverse and Guilt City. The first and seventh stories in the book.
The review of both stories will come out on Friday.Â

There’s a famous story that illustrates how even masterful storytellers can end up with glaring holes in their plots. It concerns Raymond Chandler’s classic detective novel The Big Sleep in which the killing of a chauffeur helps launch a series of complex mysteries involving drugs, pornography, blackmail, and murder that Chandler’s hero, Phillip Marlowe, must solve. When the novel was later made into an equally classic film starring Humphrey Bogart as Marlowe — with a screenplay by William Faulkner — the crew realized during production that there was one last question to resolve: Who killed the chauffeur? As the story goes, director Howard Hawks first called Faulkner wanting to know, who had no idea, so Hawks wired Chandler, the source, and asked him who killed the chauffeur. Chandler’s response, as he later recalled, was to-the-point: “Dammit, I didn’t know either.”

“Okay,” I say. “But what the hell is a Multiverse Spectrometer?”
“It sees multiverses,” my editor says, as if this should have been obvious. “You know. Like in the DC comic books.”
That’s all he had to say; I understood him then. It’s the theory that there’s not just one universe but many, all coexisting at once, and that in these other universes, events unfold in slightly or drastically different ways than in ours. In fact, if I understand the theory right, and take it to its logical conclusion, it means that everyone is everything and everyone else. We all go through every possible permutation of life throughout the Multiverse. There are universes, in other words, where I am a murderer, and others where I am the murdered, others where I’m a famous rock star or can move objects with my mind, and many others where I’m just sitting in a room somewhere wasting my life, like I’m doing right now.
