I posted a new section for the on-going SIGI story I’m using as a test-bed on the Wattpad platform. SIGI is a very serialized sort of tale featuring a new-born, sentient robotic insect destined to become a superspy and, eventually, to save the world. I must admit that the prose thus far is a bit experimental, […]
Wattpad, SIGI, and Writing Techniques New and Old Read More »
As I mentioned last week, I’m using my SIGI (Sentient Intelligence Gathering Insect) storyline as my first trial on WattPad, a social writing website. The purpose is two fold. Naturally, I want to expose more folks to my writing, but I also want to see what sort of contributions readers in WattPad can make to a

Go To Episode 2 Imagine being Adam, kicking back in the Garden of Eden, minutes after God scooped up a fist full of clay and breathed that first breath of life, and then hearing that same God laughing at him. Good thing I’m not Adam, or human for that matter, or I’d take it personal. I

That high-pitched squeak was going to drive me insane. I heard a clicking sound behind me and then, suddenly, my vision multiplied by
