Finally . . . Story Plot Hole Filled In 3!

. . . . and its smooth! Check out the changes made to resolve the story plot hole in MILK RUN

It’s been slow going but I resolved the story plot hole in my military SciFi MILK RUN! Hover your mouse for a quick overview of the story. As explained in an earlier post, the problem concerned the Telrachnid’s more advanced Crowbar that Captain Louis and his crew stole from the Telrachnid gunship. In case you forgot, the Crowbar is a device designed to pry open (hence the term Crowbar) a…

Friendly reminder that Jazz way of speaking is not “thug” or “gangster” But AAVE, an actual existing Dialect in the United States that is predominantly used in Black Communities, and if you don’t know how to use it you should not do it because it comes off as mockery.

Dias, named after reggae singer Bob Marley, is of Jamaican and Cape Verdean descent. She was born in Philadelphia and grew up in West Orange, New Jersey. Her mother, Janice Johnson Dias, is co-founder of the GrassROOTS Community Foundation.

When Dias was age 11, she complained to her mother that all of her mandatory readings were books about white boys and dogs. Dias decided to start a book drive, #1000BlackGirlBooks, to bring more attention to literature featuring black female protagonists, with the goal to collect 1,000 books to donate for black girls to other schools. Within a few months, more than 9,000 books were collected. Many of these books have been sent to a children's book drive in Jamaica. The campaign also called public attention to the lack of diversity in children's literature. Dias attended West Orange High School in West Orange, New Jersey, graduating in 2022. She is currently attending Harvard University.

My goal in life is for my stories to break hearts

I just want to perpetuate the cycle of suffering when kids are forced to realize they can't marry my characters the same way I had to learn to except that fact about Brad Hunter from "Zoids: New Century Zero."

What's Next?

That’s a tough question as I finish up MILK RUN. I actually completed a draft version of this military SciFi years ago and thought I could just pick it up and do the finishing touches with Beta Reader feedback. The problem is, I don’t like the ending as it stands. Now that I think about it, that’s probably why I stopped writing it years ago. So, I’ve run into that same roadblock again. I thought…
