Brief Author Bio: And so, I return, for my second year writing a novel. Doing this the first time made one think I'm ridiculous, coming back for the second year made me question my sanity. However! That's not why I'm writing this. I'm writing this so that you (hopefully) gain perhaps a slight more insight into how I think and work. Anyway, I am writing this as I am a seventeen-year-old senior at a college preparatory school in Midwestern Minnesota, sitting on a musty couch that's more than likely older than I am. Said school is approximately 19.6 miles away from my house, but because I get bored quite easily, I do not like driving to school. Seems a little odd, really, considering as though this...contest is more related to endurance than anything else. Moving on, I enjoy reading a good book, listening to music (for examples of these things, you may look above), playing piano, doing absolutely nothing while pretending to do something productive, frustrating people with my bilateral thinking, dropping red herrings in every instance possible, so long as it results in confusion on another's part (not everything must have a reason behind it, sometimes, impulse is a perfectly acceptable reason), and playing video games. I do consider myself a Lutheran, and it's been this way for quite some time. My political views are...with a side of...and some...thrown into the mix (meaning I don't really know anymore). Some of the dreams I'd like to accomplish within the next year are obviously graduate, publish some sort of work, whether it be a novel, or a newspaper article, or something else, I'd just like to get it published, I'd also like to take a picture of the first snowfall here in Minnesota, and have that be some sort of memory, somehow. Look! It's my Wikipedia page! In case you were curious (and you must be, otherwise you wouldn't have bothered to read this far), yes, I do "edit" Wikipedia from time to time. "Editing" means that I selectively choose which articles need fixing, and then work from there. Anyway, oddly enough, doing a simple Google search turns up about 3000 results for me, which makes me seem a bit more common than I had thought. Creepy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Legoland12342 Yes, you do have to physically copy and paste (not that it takes all that much work) the link into your address bar, but I'm going to trust that you'll do that. It's a cool page. Take my word for it. |

Synopsis: Reality
The novel opens on a experimental colony, set in one of the far corners of space. It follows the exploits and adventures of one public investigator as he attempts to cope with his issues of racism, bigotry, self-worth and purpose, in the midst of all of the violence.
And then, he and his newfound partner become wrapped up in one of the largest conspiracies ever to strike our galaxy, one that will lead him from the underground of the city to the vast limits of outer space itself.
Or does it?
The human mind can be made to believe whatever it sees, so long as there is no contradictory evidence. Thus, if one were to condition a group of people to believe that 2+2=5, instead of the usual 4, and their entire world was crafted around them believing this lie that's been created, what would they think when they realized the fallacies of the matter?
Or you can just think of it as "The Matrix" meets "The Truman Show." I think.
Excerpt: Reality
(This is a "100 words or less" summary of my novel, according to Microsoft Word)
Yes, a Limiter, if you will.” What if, this was not random, what if this was totally intentional—” my partner began.
My partner shot back.
My partner added. As if nothing else mattered. Waiting. Still waiting.
…
My partner fires back at me. “As if. District controls everything. Back down a little, partner.
I suspect it was the car crashing. “District! District! “Negative, Officers. “Well, sir, I suppose it worked a little too well, if you catch my meaning. I suppose it worked, really. “Well, thank you for your time, Officer.”
To protect people like us.
