This chapter continues with George being back in the game and crossing the Pit. My proofreader found it kind of nice the way I presented the scene of Jessie’s death from another perspective. I hadn’t really much thought about it, but I find looking at things from different angles does help comprehension, especially in human… Continue reading Chapter Eight

I have been lots of things to many people. Some nice, and some... well not so nice. Now I am older and less worried about what people think of me.
My past is colorful, sad and happy. Filled with lots of unique people.
I have been blessed in this way. I have walked with people in all walks of life, and I have loved each journey, and each and everyone of them.
Now, I write. It is a new road. It is not a highway or a crossroad. It leads me somewhere though, and as I have always spent my life travelling, this suits me fine.
Chapter Seven
The character IP200.008.476 is actually my favorite, at least when it comes to lovable and sweet. I have never met any girl exactly like her, but if I were to mix some of the students I have met, young and old, I would come out with someone similar. She represents the age just before sexual… Continue reading Chapter Seven
Chapter Six
First, I would like to apologize for the delay in my blog. Two reasons, one, my roller coaster of emotions was on a downward race, and I received my Covid19 AstraZeneca jab, which destroyed the weekend. But enough with the excuses. The chapter begins with George and his dad playing chess. This idea is a… Continue reading Chapter Six
Chapter Five
The opening of chapter five describes what I would call a bad scenario of possible future events. If the trend towards privately run kindergartens continue then the future of a child’s success in life could well be determined by which Kindergarten, he or she attends. The gap between rich and poor seems to be growing… Continue reading Chapter Five
As Promised
Here is the promised screenshot of my Amazon account, before the 15th of March. Hopefully, by the 15th of April, the sum will be a lot more.
Charity Books
In the past, when I was a far more active musician, I used to help organize charity concerts. It sounds noble, but it’s not, not really, not in my case, anyway. If you know how much fun it is being on stage you might understand. Doing something with other people who like doing the same… Continue reading Charity Books
Chapter Four
The challenge of this chapter was to find a way for George and Evylin to kill each other. Trapped in a room with no other weapon than their own hands. Usually, such mortal combat tends to leave someone alive. So, you can imagine my pleasure when I remembered the idea of the Dim Mak. The… Continue reading Chapter Four
Chapter Three
This chapter probably is the core of the whole story, without it, none of the rest of the book could exist. The idea of George and Evylin having their avatar coding seen as virus, enables them to talk and communicate like no one else in the game. How I came up with this idea, beats… Continue reading Chapter Three
How the book evolved
For those of you who have read book one, Connecting. You might feel that the story abruptly ends, with a kind of cliff hanger effect, (One of my first reviews mentioned this) but there is really only one reason for this. Apart from being an incredibly confused writer, after I had finished scribbling down the… Continue reading How the book evolved
Chapter Two
First of all, allow me to apologize for the delay. My goal is to write something every Sunday. I think, as readers, you deserve the consistency. This Sunday however, I was struggling with my English exam – I had to write an analysis of a ‘staged’ conversation. I am glad it is over. English Linguistics… Continue reading Chapter Two
