Vicky to Michael

Vicky is a key character in the novel Seed Me who we find next to no info on. She makes a cameo in YEGman where we actually get to meet her alive for the first time.
LAST photo illustration for Seed Me. Moving the experimentation onto a secret project, more on that later this year.
Learn about Vicky on the wiki. Link in bio.

Another read this year, no particular order.
Who Owns the Future by Jaron Lanier.
Dense read that dives into where we're going. Covers cultural, tech, business, and social. Not too political. It focused on humanity as we are continually absorbed into software.
In the end he proposes an interesting humanistic economy with a 2-way copy method of digital files to keep rights and payment in place. Far different from the current system of free web and spy agencies.
Lots more in this book.
Well worth the read.

Exploring new stylistic approaches with photo illustrations. A lot of the photo illustration work is seen in the monthly short stories and the novel YEGman.
Thanks @samanthawalrodart for some pointers on composition!

Fourth read of the years no particular order. Writing Into The Dark by #deanWesleySmith.
Mind blown. Writing process shocked.
Time to rethink how I've been writing novels.
Mind the cat, she's hungry as always.
