Chapter 71 of Core Beliefs. I've cleaned and polished the text, but it is still empty of emotion, revelation, and inspiration. It's all narrative, 3rd person omniscient telling, aka... boring.......... I have to rip this chapter to pieces and find a human to live it. This is a classic example of world building and all the different ways a writer can screw up a great plot. So, if I posted this now, you could use it as an example what not to do, but I really do not wish to tort

I'm grateful for the Beta Readers who have stepped forward. Daniel Book 5, Sarah Book 2 have champions, but poor CHUMP is sitting in a corner wondering why no one likes him. If you are interested in getting on board, email me at wrgolding@wrgolding.com

I am missing the boat on some of my stories and need outside eyes to help me. Read and make comments only on what you want and are comfortable with. Think of it as a way to get an early look at a story before it is finished and published. As an incentive, you will get a free copy of the work and credit for helping make it a reality.

Core Beliefs – Chapter 70 – Starship 1 As quickly as it had come, Christmas 2014 was over. Life for all involved with Dlrow Wen returned to the passionate pursuit of changing the world. Following New Year’s 2015, Emily Coblentz and Jacob Martin found themselves frequently in the silo. Both had visited before, but now they were active participants in assembling and creating some of the most sophisticated systems ever conceived. Both found the tasks demanding and exhaustin

Core Beliefs – Chapter 69 - Earth or Other “Matt, I’ve got some ideas for the silo.” Chris had come to Matt with a plan for the silo. It involved building an underground dock for the new GEM-C series and her soon-to-be-christened sister ships. Chris also wanted to create a series of safe places to do research. “Matt,” Chris sighed, “I miss the hands-on aspects, as have several of the people working at your corporations in St. Louis.” It took little to convince Matt. He al

I started this writing journey decades ago, with one character, one scene, and one moment in time. Over the years it has morphed into dozens of stories, and a multitude of characters and now...I feel fractured. It's not just the mass of words written over eons in multiple universes and worlds; it's the fractured methodology, the assorted tools and methods, and the numerous computers that have served as the repository of the accumulated works. More than once, I've lost it all,

Life sometimes fractures. Between busy, unexpected interruptions, and chaos in many forms, we find our comfort zones evaporating and all we see and all we can do is manage the immediate emergency. Getting old sucks, but adapting is fundamental to all forms of survival. So, I need to adapt, carve time for those things that bring joy and satisfaction. So, it's time to share more of my productive self. I have been writing, I have also been on a reading spree, and I have also be

I have wondered if part of my inability to finish books has to do with the "What Now," syndrome. Those final steps a self-publishing author has to take, generating covers, front matter, back matter, formatting and structuring it all, SEOs, and getting it uploaded in the right form for it to actually look like you know what the hell you're doing, I've tried a multitude of programs to help with the process and they each, in their limited way, get me part way, but the reality is

I've been asked by a few friends if I have books in print. The current answer is no. I printed a one-off manuscript, numbered and signed, many years ago for a dear friend, for her wedding. None since. The ability to do print on demand from a number of sources makes is easier than ever to offer print copies. Should I?

Core Beliefs – Chapter 68 - The Face of Evil Matt accepted that once they made the technology public, they could expect attempts to steal it. Therefore, it was not a surprise when it occurred. It was, however, very surprising who made the attempt. John Leisure was a young man in his twenties, recruited by Doug into Dlrow Wen while they were both students in Houston. John came to Doug and said he was going to take some time away from school and wondered if he could go to ‘W
