Echo-A Dystopian Science Fiction Novel

A giant douche-bro—backwards cap, slinky tank top, ‘roid-veins popping out across even his cheeks and fingers—shoves a normal looking guy away from the squat rack.  Normal guy can’t protest; Douche-bro is giant, and looks one remark away from Extreme Aggressive Douche-dom.  Douche-bro loads the piles of plates on and squats—not even going down all the way—and screams, literally screams, each time he pushes up.  I open my eReader (to Echo, of course) and it flashes with magic light.  The next rep he does, his cheeks shake, his veins pulsate, and his head explodes like a cartoon tomato.

Come on, you know that’s what’s SUPPOSED to happen to douchey ‘roid-monsters.  Buy Echo Vol. 1 on Kindle here:  Vol. 1 on Kindle.  Vol. 2 on Kindle here:  Vol.2 on Kindle.  Both volumes on other eReaders here:  Echo on other eReaders

    Just curious. How would you go about writing a book? I would love to write one but I don’t know, I need a little direction.

      IMHO, you need a mix of literary analysis skills plus a feel for what is aesthetic. Basically, you have to do a lot of boring English analysis (stories not essays, tho essays work) so you know if a prospective element/event will fit your story. Then you have to do the tricky artistic part; reach into your imagination, come up with plausible possibilities, and pick one. You need experience for this, and you get that by reading others’ works, examining what moves you, then studying how it was put together.

    Douche-bro and his partial ego boosting squats, love it. But dude, have you been training at my gym?

      Haha! Don’t think you have to go far to find a gym like that!
