500 - What's wrong with me?

I am over 500 entries into this blog. I am pleased to say that after those first three "hiccups" early on, I have not missed an entry since February 13, 2013 - well over a year. So what's the deal? Why is there so much to talk about?

The answer is the world of Rome's Revolution and the 35th century. To the extent that this world is "real" then there is literally an infinite amount of things to talk about. Other planets, other cultures, other creatures. Plus the future history leading up to it. I mean just look at an American history book. Look how thick it is. And this is just things that have happened in the past, not the present.

You will notice a strong drift over the next few months as I work out the details for The Milk Run. For example, tomorrow's article is about why all aliens must look like us. The following day will about the shape of trees. These are just some of the things I have to think about in constructing a realistic novel.

I think of myself as a storyteller. The sites and sounds are so clear in my head but when I put them down on paper (actually type them into the computer), I often neglect details because I am so anxious to get to the action.

My brother Bruce is always asking me, what clothes are they wearing? What do the cane-trees look like? Things like that. So in The Milk Run, I am going to pay extra special attention to the people, clothes, ecology, shapes, smells and so on. I want you, the reader, to see and experience things as clearly as I can.

So in summary, what's wrong with me? How can I write 500 blog posts and not even have scratched the surface? It's because I am a professional liar and the stories come from my imagination and to my knowledge that means there are no limits.
