Hard science -vs- Fantasy in Sci Fi

As much as I love the so called hard Science Fiction -vs- the fantasy
Science Fiction, I have to say it is so much harder to write for the hard
Science Fiction genre than fantasy.


I spent the past 7 hours writing chapter 9 of Ancients Ascended and the
shear scope of the technology at times is staggering.

Not only do I have to create names for things but then describe them and
come up with working manuals for the tech.


I have only accomplished 3,300 words and my head is killing me LOL


So what is the point of this rambling complaint and tipping of hats to
mainstream writers, not much really other than an update of how things are
progressing.

Journey has a new chapter in to Scott for Beta so it has 9 chapters finished
and I figured out how I am going to deal with old Tommie boy and Dumbledore.


In this story Dumbledore is manipulative for the greater good, his version
of the greater good and that is the problem.

He means well but he has this vision that almost no one else shares or would
share if they knew of it. To bad his vision is so flawed a three year old
could point out the problem with it.


So in this story I get to play with a well meaning and totally oblivious
Dumbledore that through his nudging and machinations for a perfect world is
actually causing its down fall, pretty interesting really.


Lets see you got a new chapter of AA today chapter 6.

A new poll was started to see the best way for me to post my stories to the
group.

And this Sunday I will start posting Heritage on Nifty.

I think I am going to go watch some porn to stop the ooze from leaking out
of my head at the techno-babble I have been working with all day so I can
write some of the sex scenes in later chapters of Heritage.


Get me in the mood so to speak, LOL

And I might as well give you one more new entry to the compendium, a twin
linked quick deploy orbital Astria for major ship movement.
