Things are moving .on.

Before I fully embark on my novel here are some thoughts about setting and description noun heavy writing which I like.  I am into the idea that my new novel has some kind of map that you understand eventually as the reader.  My last novel was not varied in terms of its landscape because it was in a world in which was creepy and dark and not the kind of place you would want to stay in as a nightmare might feel.  The book ends soon and you know you are going to leave that creepy place.  The location was critical to the novel.  You were never meant to feel totally comfortable.  The male antagonist was detailed with description at all times where the female character was all about mystery and intrigue.  She could exist in the imagination of the reader as what ever fantasy or horror or likely both that she could evoke by my writing of her.  The protagonist which is you is also left open ended.  So the only fleshed out character is the male antagonist.  Everything he does is intense and weird and scary.  Then all of a sudden he dissapears from the story never to show up again.  As a writer his physicality is very important as he is like a landscape onto himself.  Perhaps he is the finest creation in the novella. 

Fun goes back to the future

I understand that boredom and a low tolerance for boredom has been a huge factor in why some artists have become inspired to create.  Moods also play a role and the negative can have a seductive quality for exploration while more positive states are more likely seen as having very few jewels to mine.  Okay.  Perhaps there is a neat happy place that is not going to make you want to puke.  Of course the characters would have to be imperfect and also the kind of world they puke are in.  They still have obstacles and internal anxieties and issues.  They just refuse to give in and give up on the opportunities for joys and kisses on earth.  For them heaven on earth is not out there.  The ice cream is always reminding them like the sparrow that greater experiences will always have a chance at being realized

Any vision for the future Mark?

I think there is a lot of human intelligence that needs to be tapped into with many people and I am weary of leaders because of the many problems that can happen with leadership including various degrees of tyranny.  So to me those that are under leadership need to be able to truly change the formula of leaders and followers.  WE NEED A MORE REAL DEMOCRACY.  A world in which people don't experience being as intensely marginalized and a world with much less tensions and where science plays a bigger role and education is more relevant and less full of pointless academic rigor.  A WORLD OF STRONG PROGESSIVE PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCE LESS LIMITATIONS THAN PREVIOUS GENERATIONS AND HOPE IS SOWN INTO THE FABRIC OF OUR CULTURE.

Will this effect the Chimera Empire? The "Chimera Empire" does not exist as a real-world nation, political entity, or sovereign state, so it will not be affected by current U.S. or Russian foreign policy. Because "Chimera" is a common name across popular culture, science fiction, and military hardware, you might be thinking of one of the following fictional or niche references: πŸͺ Star Wars (The Chimaera / The Galactic Empire) If you are referring to the Galactic Empire, Grand Admiral Thrawn's famous flagship is a heavily modified Imperial Star Destroyer named the Chimaera. While the real-world political drama in Washington and Moscow might feel like galactic chess, it has no impact on the Star Wars universe, George Lucas's lore, or upcoming releases from Disney. πŸ›‘️ Warhammer 40,000 (The Imperium of Man) If you are mixing up terms from tabletop gaming, the Chimera is the ubiquitous armored troop carrier used by the Astra Militarum (Imperial Guard) to transport human infantry across warzones. Rest assured, the tech-priests of the Imperium are insulated from Earth's 2026 political maneuvers. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ Ukraine's "Chimera" Drone Unit On a realistic note, there is an active Ukrainian frontline military drone detachment named the "Chimera" unit (part of the 105th Border Guard Detachment). Since Trump's executive order directly impacts the flow of war funding, sanctions, and geopolitical leverage between the U.S., Ukraine, and Russia, real-world military units operating on the Ukrainian front lines will absolutely feel the logistical and strategic ripples of these policy shifts. Did you mean a specific sci-fi franchise, a video game empire, or were you tracking the real-world military drone unit in Ukraine?
