20201211 - "The Time Machine"

 

Hello good readers!

I have been working on the next HaikuPrajna Collection, with the final draft of "Spear-thrower". I have a list of changes, will be editing the story, and will update with progress, but April had brought Goodreads' annual hashtag to my attention so we are going to go through a HaikuPrajna Goodreads 2020 Year In Review!

The first book is HG Wells' "The Time Machine". Being a favorite of hers, April had introduced me to the movie. As it usually goes, I read and had enjoyed the book more. "The Time Machine" is the time-travel story and has sedimented many of the tropes we still see today. My favorite scene has to be from the crabs at the end of the world, to the Traveler's return to their dinner party.

20201210 WIP Update - "Planned Trajectories"

Editing on “Spear-thrower” is underway! Feeling pretty confident with the story, after giving the manuscript another read, so please read the rough draft. It would mean the world to me. Got a list of changes and additions, most center around improving character and environment descriptions, so do not be afraid to send in your comments or critiques. 

The original goal was to submit this HaikuPrajna Collection by tomorrow, but we will have to wait and see. Maybe a January 2021 release. Also would have liked to have had “Perennial City” published by now, but I had decided to pitch the script to local agencies. April and I have planned something for the 2020 Goodreads #MyYearInBooks, so please stay tuned for all this good stuff.
