Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Wikipedia is left wing garbage central, where brain damaged cretins like UnMe, antiq and Allan S get their information.
You and Art are on the same page. +2
+1 for each of you.
Where popularity rules, Einstein gets burned at the stake. Plate Tectonics and germ theory never get adopted. And we are all poorer because of it.
Wikipedia does the same damned thing with climate change and other such subjects. It is about as reliable as Google. And people who use those sorts of “sources” are idiots. Like Thucydides says cretins like UnMe, antiq and Allan S.
If you don’t like wikipedoa/fecesbook/Google/twater/amazon etc then build your own .. and banks … and credit card companies… and internet. Oh and do it while the ommie competition is subsidized by your tax dollars and while regulatios are written to prohibit you from successfully competing.
That is the free-market way according to unmedicated, anal ass and rizvan.

dikipedia, trying to screw you?
Lies, at Wikipedia? How unexpected!
OT: I have read your book last week. Not bad for the first effort.
Loved the first act up until Indian restaurant and Spike playing with the Grizzly tire.
I think the middle could use less dancing jumping robots and the final act could be more … explosive and dramatic. Still nice easy fun read.
Thanks! Always nice to get feedback. Glad you liked it.
I considered the nature of the problem they faced, and I figured they needed a pretty off-the-wall solution. If they’d had to fight the probe it would have gotten very ugly toward the end. I’m not a big fan of ugly books, so I came up with the crazy solution. It’s a novelty, if nothing else.
The next book has lots more explosions. I nuked Hudson’s Bay from orbit. ~:D
I’ve written six of them now, just struggling to get decent covers and proper campaigns pulled together for them all. This self-publishing thing is a lot harder than people give it credit for. The writing part is demanding, all the other parts are worse.
Thanks for the warning! If I ever finish the book I’ll just give the disk to those who keep pushing me to finish. If all the other stuff is harder than writing…then I ain’t doin’ it! Writing the chapters is easy and fun. Making them fit together and follow and make sense with no contradictions is hard work. I admire those who can get it done.
The difficulty for me is getting decent cover art. I’m doing my own, because I know the book isn’t going to earn back the money I’d be paying an artist to do it for me. Eventually it might, over a few years, but only if I get a world-class advertising campaign going behind it. I’m not Tolstoy, let’s just say.
As to keeping the story coherent, I’m a bit… odd. I give the characters a problem, and let them solve it. Everything they do is part of them solving it, even the night out at the dance club and the fashion show. They’re purposeful. Bad Guys are purposeful too, they’re trying to win. As long as you’re not trying to drop things and people in for “dramatic effect,” the characters will get it done for you. It’s the worst possible way to write, I’m sure, but that’s how I do it.
However, if you’re trying to jam a gay/trans/POC/other SJW touchstone character into a narrative that some 25 year old “editor” told you they want, that’s different. Then you need a story bible and a plot outline and all that structuralist crap that makes all the stories come out looking very much the same these days. That’s how you win a Hugo though.
…And the tweet is gone.
Everyone needs a screenshot of this.
