To Fight.

 A Musing by Luke Cowling.

Inexperience is often look at as a bad thing. But in truth, is it? Without experience, one has no bad habits to unlearn. You haven't engrossed yourself in the idioms of the activity, and are therefore not subject to the bias that comes from knowledge, and community. 

Whether any of this is true, or whether I am just saying it is to make myself feel better, or more confident, well I have no idea. It might just be drivel from my brain in an attempt at self-justification. What's the point? Well, I'm glad you asked.

As the science fiction novel comes together, it makes me realise how little I engross myself in the science fiction community. Sure, I ready plenty of SF novels, and have seen a show or too, but I'm not really too aware of the standings, the positions, the opinions, the habits, the do's and the don'ts. 

This could be a bad thing, obviously, that means that what I write might not meet the expectations of the target audience. But, on the flip side, it creates the opportunity for growth and new experiences. 

We'll see. It's not possible for me to write a book without having read hundreds of similar ones, but still, it is possible to set yourself aside from the community that also appreciates the genre. But whether this is a good thing or not remains to be seen.

If 'Order of the Orange V' flops and I sell no copies, then, well, at least I'll know.

To Smoke.

A Review by Luke Cowling. A little backstory on my interest in The Witcher series, I've played a game and I have seen the Netflix series and my opinion on the media that has resulted from that universe is really mixed. But I realise the interest in that universe just might have expanded greatly recently, so I wanted to throw my two cents in on a form of media relating to The Witcher that I received recently. This is my review of the production of the graphic novel collection produces by dark horse and cd recently, and my thoughts on how the print came out, and whether the production warrants an intrusion from your wallet. As always, thank you so much for the support, LPC.
