"Star Trek" tech?
Ye Gads, this is getting to be about as bad as Aboriginal Spaceways' "review" of "Fragile Eggshell Mind". I mean, really stupid: Jim Baen's Universe bounced "Galaxies Contr0lling Fate" the other day, with a form. I clicked reply, asking if they accept rewrites. The conclusion?
--This one was too familiar sounding, with the Star Trek technology.
I fired a response back at this editor/idjet to the effect of, "Sir John C. Eccles & Sir Carl Popper invented the "psychon" in How the Self Controls Its Brain, so I doubt this element is 'Star Trek'. Neither is the rest of it".
Since I'm revising it anyway, with a prospective trip thru Critters & resubmission to Analog -- who thought a little more highy of the "technology" -- I'll take this under consideration, maybe as part of a discussion between the characters. We have one guy onboard who's interested in philosophy, whom I want to tap for the explanation of Nietzsche at the end.
I did start the re-make/re-model yesterday, got all the way thru the next draft, mainly cutting. Now that I know that respected scientists & philosophers are easily & erroneously dubbed "Star Trek" by ignorant editors who know nothing of science, I can avoid this imaginary "problem". & if the dark energy sails/conduits are "Trek"? -- well, they got axed.
Not working on it today. Multi-tasking continues; today I intend to make it thru another novel chunk of Brad's fantasy thing. It's helping. I'm seeing, again, how much I stray from formula. Last thing I got into was necromancy.
Yeah, & yesterday Car-girl bought me a lemon Diet Mountain Dew, before we picked up the Bumble Bee Girl at Pizza Hut.
We gave Viagra another shot. 2 hour erection; no orgasm. God & I need my Risperdal reduced.
FUCK SCIENTOLOGY!
