Nick East (Indie Writer)
Aspiring fantasy author and geek, retired due to a bunch of chronic illnesses.
The Last Philosopher is my first book under the subtitle, Nothing is Everything.
It’s been called imaginative, funny, and unique. People have even gone so far as to compare it to #DouglasAdams and #TerryPratchett.
My response to that comparison, is to go hide under the covers for a week with embarrassment.

1·14 days ago@Randelung Technically correct, the best kind of correct 😁
@ryven There is often so much overlap that the distinction becomes pretty pointless 🤔
@veniasilente Sure, you can do it that way, I’m somewhere inbetween, I certiainly have a small worldbuilding addiction but I also try to fit in the story 😁
@AbouBenAdhem Ah, well I’ve been told my ‘destinctive narrative voice’ is one of the best parts of my writing so I suppose drawing attention to the ‘constructed’ manner of the text won’t be an issue 😁
@AbouBenAdhem I use quotes from characters made up by me or anonymous quotes from the world I’m writing, so I definitely use it as a bit of extra worldbuilding or “larger in-world literary context.”
Not sure what you mean by “the text being constructed” isn’t all text? 🤔😁
@Cellari Maybe fiction is the reality and we’re just the shadow copies on the walls of the cave? 🤔 😁
@Diplomjodler3 Just like no writer has ever taken any inspiration from anything that has ever happened 😁
@coolie4 That is a good point, in some cases there’s a logic behind it, but the best answer is probably that I didn’t think off it 😁
@early_riser I did read them all but once it went from Frank Herbert into his son, I want to say Brian, I honestly should’ve stopped because they were not so good… But I really like the original trilogy and some of the prequels are okay too 😁

@Aeao What if it’s a crazy android? 🤔
@early_riser That is true 😁
