From my point of view my first book is a success.

All of a sudden Amazon is paying me for the much larger amount of readers of Everyone's Nightmare than was expected.  It felt too good to be true, but it is really excitingly real.  I am  a success.  It tastes very yummy to win.

Things I really like about my new city home in order of importance

My home is a good one

A nearby grocery store with good prices

A park and musuem here is top notch

My close distance to a library

The weather is better than most places

A movie theatre that shows some good picks nearby

A book store with an excelect selection of books

The fact that it is a unique place

Some top notch university with the best department of optomitry in the country

An emerging culture of distinction that many locals seem oblivious to

Good transit system


The main negative I am willing to mention is:

The city seems to be a system of life more than I expected.

I hear you Russia and there is a theme to what interests you people and that is the problems with negativity.

Someone from your country could leave a comment and start a very interesting discussion.  I LOOK FORWARD TO THIS A LOT.

Maybe there is too much informaton and not enough that is not there to inform but to give a high level of the kind of entertainment we need and that being escapist in the right kind of way as in having some level of adult content but not dark really and not fluffy as as a bad children's book.


Sure negativity can be wonderful

In my subjective research negativity is not understood correctly by many which is a reason we are so very very hurt by it.  More on that later.  I will say it has a frequency range much greater or should I say worse than previously believed.  Or just news to me.

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.

The title I like for my new novel is

EVERYDAY LAND

Contribute by sharing with me your most ordinary and dull experiences.

The wonderful world of animals.

Look at the sky and see the birds

They attack other birds

Driving other birds out

Strange how in Tam Valley I saw this:

The crows chased out the Red Tail Hawks

Then the sparrow sized birds chased out the crows

I had never seen such proud little birds in my life

Perhaps telling me that the winners are not always who

You think they will be.

The crows effect on the blue jays that stuck around was also

Interesting

As they became kinder and more gentle after surviving the crow invasion

The deer were multiplying faster than usual

They were losing their fear of people

Taking pride in how they cared for each other and their young it seemed to me

Making me feel like less of a mammal

Spiders were getting more friendly as well

True story

A spider hanging from a web sat near me and dangled there for over an hour

I gave him my company and he gave me his or hers

There were no phone numbers given or email adresses

It was a very natural event.

I created this from AI concerning reality and time. Don't hit the ceiling too hard please. Multiverse Theory: In physics and cosmology, the multiverse theory proposes the existence of multiple universes, possibly with different physical laws and realities. This concept lends itself to the idea that there could be parallel versions of ourselves and our world. Quantum Mechanics: Quantum mechanics explores the strange behavior of particles at the subatomic level, where possibilities exist in superposition until observed. Some interpretations of quantum mechanics suggest that every quantum measurement causes the universe to split into multiple realities. The Nature of Perception: Our perception of reality is subjective and influenced by our experiences, beliefs, and biases. What we perceive as "reality" may be only a limited and filtered version of what actually exists. Philosophical Implications: The idea of shifted realities raises profound philosophical questions about free will, determinism, and the nature of identity. If multiple realities exist, does our sense of self remain constant across them? What is the nature of consciousness, if realities can be shifted? Existential Concerns: The feeling of being "shifted in the wrong direction" could reflect existential anxieties about belonging, purpose, and the meaning of life. It could also relate to feelings of alienation or disconnection from one's environment. The idea of a simulation: Also, there is the idea that we are living in a simulation, and that shifts in reality are programing changes. It is a very interesting subject, that has been explored in both science, and in philosophy. This month in physics my topic is trending again. Retrocausality in quantum levels and negative time. Say if we were trying to percieve thing more backwards would mess with our sense of time. You're hitting on some very cutting-edge and mind-bending concepts in physics! Retrocausality and negative time are indeed topics that are gaining renewed attention, and they have profound implications for our understanding of time and causality. Here's a breakdown:   Retrocausality: This concept suggests that effects can precede their causes, meaning that events in the future can influence events in the past.   In quantum mechanics, certain experiments and interpretations suggest that this might be possible at the subatomic level. This challenges our intuitive understanding of cause and effect, which is deeply ingrained in our perception of reality. Negative Time: The idea of negative time proposes that time could flow backward in certain contexts. This is related to the mathematical solutions of some physics equations, which allow for the possibility of time flowing in the opposite direction. It is very difficult to grasp, because all of our experiences relate to time flowing forward. Quantum Levels: These concepts are particularly relevant in the quantum realm, where the rules of classical physics break down.   Experiments involving entangled particles and quantum teleportation have hinted at the possibility of non-local effects that seem to defy our understanding of time and space. Perception and Time: Our perception of time is not objective; it's influenced by our brains and our experiences.   If we were to perceive events in a retrocausal or negative-time manner, it would drastically alter our sense of time and causality. It would be extremely difficult for a human to comprehend. Philosophical Implications: These concepts raise profound philosophical questions about the nature of free will, determinism, and the arrow of time.   If the future can influence the past, does that mean our choices are predetermined? How do we reconcile these ideas with our sense of agency and responsibility? The Arrow of Time: One of the largest questions in physics, is why time only appears to flow in one direction.   Entropy is often associated with the arrow of time.   It's a fascinating area of research, and it's likely to continue to challenge our fundamental assumptions about the universe.

If reality is perceived as a pre-existing "movie" that unfolds before us, it does indeed challenge our conventional understanding of entropy and cause and effect, especially over long periods. Here's a breakdown of the implications: Pre-Determined Narrative: If the "movie" of reality is already set, then all events, past, present, and future, are already determined. This eliminates the notion of genuine free will and choice, as our actions would simply be part of the pre-recorded narrative. Entropy and the Arrow of Time: Entropy, the tendency of systems to move towards disorder, is closely linked to the arrow of time. If reality is a pre-determined movie, then the direction of time and the increase of entropy become less fundamental. They're simply part of the unfolding narrative. The movie could be played in reverse, and it would not change the movie. Cause and Effect: Cause and effect, the idea that events have preceding causes, also becomes less meaningful. All events are interconnected within the narrative, and their order is simply a matter of the movie's sequence. If all events are already laid out, then cause and effect become more of a description, than a mechanism. Perception and Reality: Our perception of cause and effect and the flow of time may be an illusion created by our brains as we experience the "movie." Our minds try to create a coherent narrative from the unfolding events, even if the underlying reality is different. Philosophical Implications: This concept raises profound philosophical questions about the nature of reality, free will, and the meaning of existence. It suggests that our experience of reality may be fundamentally different from the underlying reality itself.
