My writings, old and new...

I've been an avid reader since I was 10 and my parents subscribed me to ''Boy's Life''. We lived in a small town without TV for 3 years; my family read as many books as we could! (My wife still occasionally mentions TV shows I've never seen; I think the books I read did me more good!) I'm going to put my opinions of books I've read and especially those I could not finish.

2018 story notions


Name of the book: 2018 novel
          Author: M.W. Bell
    Type of book: fantasy
Ruff outline of my 2018 novel


Just as I though my 20 novel ws a standalone, so I hoe my 2917 would be a stan alone novel. However, while I planned the stoey, the story woke up an took itelf in its own directions. It didi not help tht I had not figred the answer to the questions of:


Wh ws making lethale, distributing it and why?


What did it mean that Dent hadd become the Westyrn Grnfather?


Back story on modifid Hobbits. Who made them? Should they escape and be interceptd by the eople of the Subline Nation Tey could be intercepted by SN agent who intercepts a classified report in the office of the enemy battellion? (Look up this units name.) Have yhis info relayed to an SN unit which sends a platoon to interccept them. Then, this unit takes the 80 Hobbits to a boat at a private dock in City 2. This dock s supposedly publicc ut is really intnded for craft communicating btwen he magician Guild in City and their counterprts in one of the cities north of there. (Mak it Crete.) Have the 80 Hobbits arather nice boat and taken to City . There they were taken ashore by Forrests boats at a thiefs ove. They try to be snaky but are seen by a wather posted by the Father of Thieves. Said Watcher dispatch a squd to tail them annd they follow them to Brothr Steggs Temple. They send a scout to report this to he Fathe of Thieves.

Two useful quotes from Art of War by Sun Zu

24. The general who advances without coveting fame and retreats without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to protect his country and do good service for his sovereign, is the jewel of the kingdom. π25. Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look upon them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death.
