I like writing these mini satires....Thanks, Callan. I like writing these mini satires. I might say that if you like my world-building efforts, there's a good chance you'd like my novel, God Decays--but that would be crass and consumeristic of me. ;) You're certainly right that there's a balancing act here.Benjamin Cainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00661999592897690031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6320802302155582419.post-1424052519235914672013-11-14T20:11:44.782-05:002013-11-14T20:11:44.782-05:00‘Consumers are like cockroaches. You can never des...<i>‘Consumers are like cockroaches. You can never destroy them all.’</i><br />Oh, that's a good answer! I hate it, but it works so well! It'd make a great title of a book (to go right next to 'Steal this book' as a great book title!)<br /><br /><i>In fact, our honour required that we lie to them in a thousand different ways, to pay them back for their sinful demands.”</i><br />AH, but the great failure in this honour is that this is actually the job of the poor ass creative writer!<br /><br />Take money for it and you're just another cockroache consumer!<br /><br />Of course writers want silly things like food and shelter, with the base currency for such is money...so it's this crazy sell out balancing act. Why some writers are lothe to sell themselves, or taking for f'n ever between books.<br /><br />And the advertising executive thrives off that, with their little advertising awards for artistic excellence, taking the writers inch the mile they need to make phat loot and call themselves honourable at the same time!<br /><br />I'm liking the world building your doing here, Ben!<br /><br /><i>“It was like going into battle with a sword, but every time you stab someone, the sword turns around and slices you too.</i><br />More like stabbing others by first ramming the blade through ones heart and out the otherside, into theirs.<br /><br /><i> “I don’t hate anyone. I’m a happy guy. And why shouldn’t I be! I have a big house, a wife with big tits, a sports car, and a well-paying job. What more could anyone want?” </i><br />Hey, your world building even has a heaven and hell in it - depending on perspective (though the hell part involves seeing that as hell, but the very seeing involves perhaps a salvation process?)Callan S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15373053356095440571noreply@blogger.com
