When the wonderful appears in writing a story. The surprises that you never saw coming.

Hello,

Fellow writers and lover’s of the written word. I have come to the finishing line of the life of prince family saga. “I think.”

I’ve completed the first draft of the life of Prince part 3 book saga . It has been an interesting ride filled with heart and things heating up to a surprising blast at the end. The story didn’t end on a soft note and it was a total surprise to me how the characters revealed themselves in the heat of violent explosive moments.

I don’t know how writing is for you but for me the greatest thrill I get from the actually writing is the surprises that come about as each conversation or scene leads to a series of events that has to happen and your left wondering.

Where did that come from? 

I didn’t see that coming.

I mean. You have your story notes written, your outline crafted from months before and a general idea about the beginning, middle and end but then as your writing events start happening you didn’t foreseen happening. This gives you pause.

Writing kind of reminds me of Life. You have your plans. We all have plans but then something happens some times to interrupt those plans. Some times good. Some times bad. We don’t have complete control in life and the unexpected will happen. You never think about that one conversation that led you to travel the world or buy a house because somebody called you worthless and said you would never amount to anything.

Unlike like life however, in writing a story you still have the option to decide if you want something to happen in a particular way or can you change an event and the past the events in the story to get a better result in the final act of the tale.

Okay..I don’t hate Ben Shapiro. I just….ahhh!

Hello,

It’s been more then a minute sense my last post for good reason which I won’t get into in this post. Okay. Here’s the thing. I don’t hate Ben Shapiro. I just can’t stand the sound of his voice or watching him talk about the politics and the news like a sixteen year old girl discussing drama going on at school or a fifty year old gay guy discussing Hollywood drama on YouTube.

What brought this post on?

I’m on YouTube a lot. I watch videos on just about anything from politics, comedy, audio books. I used to watch Shapiro’s The Daily Wire channel a lot and listen to Shapiro a lot until I realized he was a political, drama queen that does nothing to change the world. Wait let me be honest. It wasn’t the political drama queen stuff it was his VOICE. His annoying nasal voice that moves in quick mile a minute bites. I mean really. Really. REALLY. How many times can someone take his garbage s-word head.

Breath. I did to calm down. Lord help me. What was I talking about? Oh Yeah. The Annoying Shorty.

I un-subbed to his channel and a nightmarish thing has happened. YouTube in it’s divine un-holy wisdom is now suggesting to me that I need to see Ben Shapiro’s personal channel.

Oh MY GOD!

I didn’t even know this man had a personal channel and I wish to God the genius A.I running YouTube would get the hint when I mark his videos as I don’t want to see or hear him talk. I don’t know what the plan is here. But, I think it’s to make me go insane avoiding watching an annoying short man tell an average opinion that ten other YouTubers can have about any given issue. There’s nothing there. Once you stop watching tv or have a objective skeptical eye about what the elites tell you then you don’t need to hear his annoying nerdy know it all voice.

I mean it’s the voice….I need to stop.

One Punch! A Study of hard work, determination, natural talent and what it means to be a hero and get bored being a superman

Hello,

Fellow, writers and story lovers. I come to you in a more pleasant and cheerful attitude. I wish you success in your writing projects and may your created works turn out well.

ONE PUNCH! 

I came upon this work of fine well written anime and manga. I’ve read the books and found them funny, mature at times and entertaining. The story world and characters are interesting as well as presented and written very well. The writer has not broken the rules in his world. The rules the writer has established in his fictional world are solid, clear cut and without a trace of idiotic toilet humor or stupid explanation.

It’s just entertaining. The action is solid and the humor is a punch to the gut because when the action/comedy hits it hits hard.

The main character is man with simple desires and motivations you understand. He wants to be hero as a hobby. That’s it and he has worked hard to achieve his goal and had massive success though he had humble beginnings and his rise to the top level of strength and confidence is hard earned. Though, he is not respected or well known in the world he literally is:

a self made SUPERMAN in a world filled with people that have a host of super powers from lazor beams out the eyes to a man who wields a baseball bat and yes that is his power. One PUNCH stands alone as man that kill a giant city size meteorite with a single punch and alien super king world destroyer with a single blow.

What I’m saying sounds weird and strange but if you see a single episode of season 1 you’ll understand quick enough.

my hero academia: A study in the pursuit of power and fame (anime) season 1 and some of season 2 part 1

guardiandogg2 Comments

Okay, this is going to be a bit different from what I usually write but I found the subject shocking, crazy and food for thought so I want to write about it.

My friends and fellow writers. I’ve got a secret to tell you. Once a long, long time a go, many moons ago I was a huge Anime and manga fan. Back in the late years of the 1990s into the early 2000s. I cut my teeth on Roin Warriors and G-Gundam.

Mind you I’m not a scholar in thousandths of stories and genres in the subject. What I am offering is a perspective about this anime that I don’t know is true or not. It’s just something I’m seeing in this children’s anime that I find weird.

I haven’t read the books but I’ve watched the anime season 1 and I’ve seen a bit of season two part 1. The concept is interesting. A world filled with Super powered people. The child main character (has no father but a single mother no mention of father in season 1) wants to be Super powered “hero” like his hero All Might. A blond haired tall dude with movie star good looks and super strength powers. Child protagonist is a loser born without powers. He meets his “hero” and finds out a secret about All Might. All Might sees a determination and craziness in child protagonist so All Might tells him secret about his powers. All Might is a phony. He got his powers from someone else (destroying a major element of the story’s world) he offers child protagonist a chance to become a hero like him and be given All Might’s powers but he has to train for a year to prove his determination and will to get to the top. The year is up so he achieves his goal and then All Might reveals how he can “transfer” his powers to child protagonist.

Spoiler alert: All might removes a hair from his head (DNA) and gives it to child to eat. Child freaks out and doesn’t want to eat All Might hair (DNA) (We don’t see this part we just hear it.) All Might forces child to eat DNA and the story of a child super hero’s rise to fame and glory begins.

Anyway, your probably wondering something. Where are the super villains? Oh! The audience is introduced to them at the last episodes. The villains want to kill All Might they only attack the children to draw him out.

Now. I saw this theme but then again I thought to myself the first time maybe I’m thinking to deeply about a stupid cartoon show from Japan. Though current Japanese anime is horrible like this excluding One Punch! Maybe I’m wrong about the hero academia. I watched the entire season and I found it okay and funny at times and I didn’t get that weird feeling much.

I picked up season two recently, Season two part 1 of the blue ray starts out with the children powered (heroes in training) entering a world wide competition to compete for the top position against other children for a grand prize. All Might explains to child protagonist the importance of winning the prize. Child protagonist asks why. He is assuming it will better him as a future hero. He is dead wrong.

All Might explains that being a “hero” has more to do with being popular to the general public and earning fame so he could be paid more in merchandising rights and have a big enough fame number in the business of being a paid “hero”. Oh. I forgot to mention that. Being a hero is this story world means, getting paid serious money, being famous all over and being worshiped by children and people all over the world.

Huh! That’s odd. That reminds me a little bit of Hollywood child and adult Actors. You know stories of people rising to the top by doing weird and some times depraved stuff to gain power and wealth.

Here’s a theme I’m getting from season two part 1: What are you willing to do to get that high number? Or who are you willing to use to be on the top?

I really can’t tell if this show is pure evil or if the creator and artist is obsessed with sex or the age old question of what will people do to gain power and position. I think this show is popular to a lot young children though online. The show conveys a lot of stupid humor to mask the weirdness and weird images and by weird I mean pedophile themes. The story concept was brilliant but was burned away in the dude’s obsession with sex.

Post birth infanticide I never knew there was such a word

guardiandoggLeave a comment

Hello, 

Fellow writer’s of the written word. I greet you with a sad heart and woes for the end of my country’s moral compass and pulse.

Infanticide.

What a horrible word. 

What a horrible reality that there are human beings who would crave such a horrible nightmare of “normal” days.

I saw a Virginia politician explain calmly with a pleasant normal voice a law that would give the right of other human beings the dictatorship to decide whether or not to murder a new born child if the family didn’t like the human being at first sight.

A newly born human coming in to this world that would sooner see the human sacrificed to the god of molech and new form of human slavery.

My heart doesn’t break for the fools who don’t see the curse that will bring their own demise. 

My heart doesn’t break for people who vote such worshippers of death in to the seats of power. We proud Americans will get what we deserve in time.

My heart is breaking for the defenceless youths born into a world where their own mothers hate the light of their babies smile.
