This news came out yesterday; I saw it on Instagram. My first impression was a prank; it looked like sand art by the beach and was too stereotypical as the big-headed alien. On top of that, they look like ET. They are so little like evolved macaque monkeys from Pluto's Tehuacan. The Peruvians could have made something much more creative; instead, they went for the mainstream look of an alien, if not the Mexican sand work, that is. But it's from the local news when I saw this on Instagram, still waking up drinking my coffee at work. Then, I noticed the people around the two looked serious, with big press and everything in front of the two wooden boxes that looked like coffins. They are the Mexico's congress? So, I went to Google and searched for more articles about this, and if it was fake, but the same articles have gone viral, including the big media news: a "Non-Human," a "1,000-year-old corpse," it was "Found in Peru in 2017". One has an x-r...

I wasn’t really sure what to expect based on just the title but it definitely kept me on my toes a bit. I really liked the prologue. It set the tone of your book and set the stage for the content really nicely. It was also thought-provoking which was helpful as well and got your audience involved in what was to come. I will say based on the prologue, I wasn’t quite expecting UFOs, the dis...

I always keep my blog updated about my tools for writing blogs, letters, and storytelling. I experiment with each tool for a specific time religiously, until I find another one. So far, I have always used the current application alongside any new additional tools. There is always something that the previous program has for me that the latest application or device doesn't offer, even if I have only heard of it from someone else or discovered it myself. On the contrary, I used earlier software when I wrote Carbon Planet: Our Destiny In The Stars. It took some time, but it was reliable. The application is called Write Right. I no longer use it today because the latest tool has the same features, but it is much faster and has many more selections of better words. I have never returned to the same software since not even to see if it has been updated. It may be better now than when it was only available on iPad. The latest writing tool I discovered is Bard from Google. The search engin...

  PROLOGUE The armored Knight rode through the eerie forest, his metal armor gleaming in the moonlight as it creaked in the silence. His noble quest was to rescue the imprisoned Princess, taken captive by a nefarious dark sorcerer. Despite the warnings of the treacherous journey that lay ahead, he was unwavering in his determination to save the monarch. With his sword drawn, he advanced toward the ominous citadel.             As he approached the foreboding fortress, peculiar noises emanated from within, resembling mournful moans and groans. The Knight's grip on his blade tightened as he ventured further into the keep, shadows flickering ominously around him. In the dimly lit chamber, he finally spotted the damsel in distress. She lay upon a bed, her skin pallid, and her eyes vacant.             "Princess!" he exclaimed, rushing to her side. "I've come to rescue you!" ...

I asked Bard: Did astronauts gone back to the moon? Bard answered: No, no astronauts have gone back to the moon since the last crewed mission in December 1972, Apollo 17. There have been a number of robotic missions to the moon since then, but no humans have set foot on its surface in over 50 years. There are a number of reasons why humans have not returned to the moon. One reason is cost. The Apollo missions were very expensive, and it is not clear that the public is willing to pay for another moon landing. Another reason is that there are other priorities for NASA, such as the International Space Station and the James Webb Space Telescope. However, there is renewed interest in sending humans back to the moon. In 2017, NASA announced the Artemis program, which aims to land the first woman and the next man on the moon by 2024. The Artemis program is still in development, but it is a major step towards returning humans to the moon. It is also possible that private companies will be inv...

Yesterday, my brother woke me up at 2:00 PM. However, I was already awake, thinking about my recent email to the editor of my manuscript, SWARM: Home Sweet Home, the last book in the SWARM series. I had sent it to her earlier that morning, around 10:00 AM, and I had reminded her at around 3:00 AM. She was working on a different project at that time, so she asked me to hold on a bit and offered me a customer upgrade because of the manuscript's length. My book is over 30,000 words, which is more than the gig I had selected for the service. I said okay and thanked her. Standard editing will take her about a week. That package will include structural editing, proofreading, and consistency of voice and tone. Regarding line editing, she prefers me not to go there because that part is pretty much done on my side. It might only make her slow down, figuring out how to arrange better lines. Nevertheless, proofreading and my weakness in tenses, where I tend to drift, are where I needed help m...
