#pennedpossibilities 649 - What research did you conduct for your WIP, and did you uncover anything surprising or fascinating?

A lot...Originally I was going to set this in a post Islamic world so my FMC could speak Arabic, but the more I researched, the more I realized that the Zhenguan era (627-649CE) was more fitting. Meaning in addition to reading Classical Chinese texts and scholarly works about my era, I also had to brush up on my Coptic to write this WIP.

Orion (he/him)

I've implied a lot of progressive city planning in the background as well as anarcho-syndicalism in the industrial base of the setting: the Greater Cascadian Megalopolis. It's a functional socio-anarchist sprawl where individual arcologies house the equivalent of small towns that specialize in a product or service. One might make car parts while another does security software.

Secure within these concrete walls
where truth gets filtered in
and power scrubbed
to remove undesirable elements

Reality gets sand blasted redacted
so our view is always crystal clear..

This ain't the #place for moral ambiguity..

No shades of gray to be found here..

Cause those who question
the refurbished orthodoxy
get exiled vanished
lest they cloud
our freshly regurgitated narrative..

Cause it's the objective
of the thought collective
never to be burdened
with even a hint of thought process
that could jeopardize
our precious opinion uniformity

Though deep down we all know
this fortress of ignorance
has always been a flimsy illusion..

When the alternate reality bubble bursts
soaked to the bone we will be..

Condemned universally
as the misled mutts of history

stereotyped writer traits

Yes, I have a cup of coffee each morning, but otherwise drink herbal tea & water. I don't smoke, drink alcohol, or engage in other self-destructive behavior.

Oh, I don't write in a coffee shop, but love to edit, & never base characters on real people so I can revenge kill them.

I might be an introvert, but as an INFJ personality, I’m more of an “extroverted introvert.” I thrive on 1:1 relationships.

Standing at the crime scene
with his Mrs accomplice

Adam had to choose
between Love or obedience

Does he turn her in
for her original sin
or take that fatal
accomplice bite
and share Eve's punishment?

One stinking rule
was all they had to observe

Matters not
that a victim
of sly deception was she

but not he

Adam made his free will choice
and took his poison
like a good husband should

Shared the forever banishment
as man and wife

For you see
to Adam and Eve
the vow of for better or worse
was more than a throw away vow

It came attached
to bitter consequence
as they paid the high cost
of their marital pledge

As we their children
to this day
who mourn the tragic sacrifice
that our Paradise Lost tribe
can readily attest

Human relationships can be such a bitch
