What to Do With Wonder Woman? Part 2- Putting it Back Together
In part 1 I set all this up by giving you some idea of what I think about this and why I feel that way and maybe why I'm doing this little thought experiment at all. It's not like I have the last word or even any say at all. It's more that I am testing myself by looking at how I would write on a project that has frankly vexed Hollywood for years. Who knows maybe someone will find some scrap of thi

Description:
Violet Skies is a fantasy/YA novella, a coming of age tale, and a treatise on the use of power. The story follows Taya Mindaerel, a young girl born with magical powers, and her mother, the Oracle of the Prairie Winds, as they flee their home to seek sanctuary in Aurum, the City of Gold. On the way they meet three boys who will serve as Taya's allies- Alex, a charming vagabond, Brand, a dour swordsman, and Ogger, a wild creature.

A million people hungry, needing the fruit- and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains. And the smell of rot fills the country. Burn coffee for fuel in the ships. Burn corn to keep warm, it makes a hot fire. Dump potatoes in the rivers and place guards along the banks to keep the hungry people from fishing them out. Slaughter the pigs and bury them, and let the putrescence drip down into the earth.

“Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century:
Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others;
Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected;
Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it;
Refusing to set aside trivial preferences;
Neglecting development and refinement of the mind;
Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.”
