Robots

February 8, 2018 psoans

I generally have avoided reading Science Fiction. It has not interested me. I find this surprising considering that I am a big fan of Doctor WHO, Star Trek and Star Wars. I absolutely loved GATTACA. Terraforming and colonizing of other planets fascinate me. Seven of Nine played by Jeri Ryan is one of my favourite… Continue reading Robots

That though is for another day. Please be aware that there are spoiler alerts. For my novel, I wanted things to be as realistic as possible.… Continue reading Bahubali

Macro or Micro Writing?

February 4, 2018February 4, 2018 psoans

I came across this article. It proved to be an inspiration. When I look back at life I do wonder what would have happened if I had to get into humanities rather than finance. Writing is something that has always attracted me. I love the way that random words can be put together to create… Continue reading Macro or Micro Writing?
