Insights into life and artistry from the project

Today I hit 19,000 words. That's a lot of words. I realized that I can both do a vanity printing or galley for distribution to select readers AND an audio version to others who don't read, OR possibly some famous folks, agents, which will give me deeper insights into how to amp up the flow and impact.
Pairing down the elements of development that support the Novella also feels like progress. Extract what is essential from the original content and then de-emphasize or archive that content.
Along with optimizing the development resources, I want to get every chapter roughed out so it's clear what needs energy. Then, as the structure comes into focus, have a fucking blast writing some crazy shit. Have the universe bring me a literary agent 🙂
This might not be the ultimate path, but this search was intriguing...

Several reputable literary agencies in the USA represent science fiction authors. Some popular ones include Ayesha Pande Literary, CAA/ICM, and New Leaf Literary & Media. It's crucial for authors to research and target agencies that specialize in science fiction to ensure they have a good understanding of the genre and its market according to Spines.

Two tomes building, the Cosmology and Novella. The Cosmology is a check on the internal consistency of the story's scaffold, is the logic of the world fairly consistent? The Novella is a paper test of the story's flow, utilizing movie elements that already exist and ranging beyond in the way only written words can.
The goal is useful, completion oriented outcomes. What's amazing and moves the project into denouement.

The wonderful angle to putting out a spiritual perspaective as a movie is that it's just a story, it doesn't have to aspire to be the guiding light for a civilization, although it might turn out that way. it doesnt have to be true, just a finger pointing to the moon - internallly consistent, entertaining, imagination activating. better than an assertion, because it's an invitation. no one was ever forced to explore / discover their true nature. conversion at sword point is meaningless. i can be a little sloppy and hey - it's just a story. there are no critical errors. The question is, how much rabbit hole do I aspire to, how deep can I dig? Can I create a world that is so analogous that it feels significant. I see the (sayeth the audience) the parallel you've offered and it's dang intriguing, it's informing my RL ride.
Now is the time to complete this epic project. Every waking hour I can be planning, scheming, building, completing. I have a treasure chest in LTC waiting, the cosmos will take care of the increase, get to dreaming! Greg...
