Sunday Post #503


 
So this week I posted 2 chapters of Camping. I'm having a blast with this story. I'm just writing it as I go. The premise is out there and that's part of the fun. But I keep having ideas and seeing concept art that inspires me. Anyways I'm also looking for a new show.

In other news has anyone heard of Royal Road? I'm looking for a site to post fiction and I've heard it focuses on SF/F. I only heard about this week, I've mostly heard about Wattpad. Anybody have any insight?    

Not Bad Betty Cooper GIF by Lili Reinhart 

Here is this week's lyric. 

I got it bad 
You don't know how bad I got it 
You got it easy      

Here is the lyric f/ last week and the answer      

You see, you don't have to live    
       


   Song of the week


PULP COVER OF THE WEEK: 



I want to highlight some art that just screams to be a story. Some of the art from Youtube ambient channels is awesome. This one actually inspired my Camping story. 


These are fun. A car chase from the Bond movie For Your Eyes Only. It takes place on Corfu and below it is someone recreating the route.

    I am really disappointed in myself. I should have recognized a Tom Petty song. Good luck with your writing. It's wonderful to see you enjoying it so much

    Mrs B is a reviewer on RR. That's about all I can tell you about it. She'll occasionally read me a paragraph or two of what she's reading and it never turns out well. So we have both learned it's better if I just remain in ignorance, hahahaha :-D

    Oh..why didn't I know that one about Tom..dang... I actually got to see him live in concert. It was only an accident. I got to go when someone had to leave town and they wanted to make sure the ticket got used. It was an amazing concert! >>>>>>>>>>>> Honestly, I don't like Wattpad, but if you gotta lot a friends there already..it helps. I hope you can find a science fiction place, but if not..it's great to find your readers here, too. I hope you say inspired and continue.

    Here's to a lovely weekend. Yes, I had my tacos and my margaritas too! Behave yourself....hahahahahaaaa...

      My T keeps getting stuck on my keyboard..or it's probably just my fingers, but that alone can get annoying when I think I have a complete thought..just to look back and see..I meant the instead of he.
      All the best at getting your story out there. Keep writing 💗

    I've never heard of Wattpad, hope that works for your writing! Tom Pettty! He's one we never got see and that will teach me to put off traveling to see him. We have so many of his CDs.

    I'm really hooked on Gotham Knights right now. And if you haven't given the new Quantum Leap a try, I thought the first season was great.

    Of course, my tastes seem to be the opposite of many people, so take my recommendations with a grain of salt.

    So glad the writing is going so well. I've never considered putting my stuff up on Wattpad, though I believe there is a lovely community there. Thank you for the videos - the 2CV chase brought back some happy memories:)). I hope the coming week is a good one and the writing continues to bring loads of pleasure, Greg!

    I'm glad to hear the writing is going well for you. I have done editing for people but never been into writing, other than reviews, myself. Obviously I love the reading, though.

    This week's lyrics rang a bell, but I couldn't place them, so I googled them...argh! I should have! That's a song I'm very familiar with...

    I don't know what RR is, but to be honest, I don't think you need a place where people can be mean to you for no reason when you have us 😉.

    I keep having thoughts about writing, but never get around to actually sitting and taking time to do it. Hmm, you've probably already watched the shows, but I started Red Rose on Netflix. Not sure when I'll go on watching, but it was at least interesting the first episode or two. What about Eureka that was on SciFi? I'm guessing you probably watched that one. It was one of my favorite shows. Hope you have a good week!

    I guess it's what makes it fun, right? Writing as you go. It's harder for me because I'm one of those people who needs to have the entire story planned before starting to write it. I'm really enjoying what you wrote so far, so I look forward to the rest of this story!

    I *have* heard good things about Royal Road (and have read 1 of the stories too there), but I think that's a very niche audience. I know people post fanfiction at Archive of Our Own, not sure if that works for original fiction too?

    Keep up the writing, Greg! I do love those ambient fantasy world videos. So well done, at least those I've seen! Your pulp cover winner reminds me of a comic book I'm currently reading which features similar pulp covers, it's called Gun Honey. :D
