Second questions: if we are out of butter?

[Omac]

If there is no butter and there is no toast then the world must be ending... That or it's 2023. Or both.

[V]

2023, the great butter shortage?

Working on anything creative?

[Omac]

So I want to write a space opera, and I never told you this, but I did a trial run with members of RPA as characters. You were Captain Vee. Bee Bear and Karma were crewmates. It was fun, though short, as I realized I wanted it to be a full story. Four years later, I have parts of an outline and I want to try writing it. I don't know much about space operas though, so I'm going to read a few and finally get around to watch Star Trek. Currently I'm watching Classic Doctor Who. So hoping to start that after my current project or maybe switch between the two.

I'm also the farthest I have ever been at an attempt at writing a book, and it's taken me three years to finish act one, and I'm not sure if I'll finish it, but it feels nice to have at least accomplished that. It's a darker story, so while I'm stuck on it, I think I'll work on something lighter.

Hey that's all great to read, sometimes writing takes a long time but shouldn't rush it. Space Opera is a fun setting, I like it a lot and used to watch a lot of sci-fi shows back when I watched TV. Never did watch any of the Star Trek series though, only saw the modern Dr Who as well.

Are you reading any Space Opera novels now?
What's your favourite sci-fi show?

[Omac]

I don't write everyday. It always feels force to me and it comes more smooth, and written better, if I wait for when I'm in the mood. As for reading, I haven't found one yet. I do have a list, and I started a few books that I'm not even a chapter into to get a feel for what I want to read, but I haven't committed yet.

Does Legends of Tommorow count? It's a time travel superhero show set in the CW universe. If not, Doctor Who, for sure. Though I haven't seen any of the Star Wars, Star Trek, or any other sci-fi shows.

[V]

That makes sense to me, gotta feel like writing to actually sit down and do it.

Yeah I'm not to familiar with that many Space Opera novels, I've always been more into reading fantasy over scifi. What do you often read?

I've never seen it, what was the best thing about Legends of Tomorrow?

[Omac]

Well, writing is a very emotional thing, at least for me, and if I'm not in the proper emotional mindset it's hard to write. Like my book is basically a mixture of anger, anxiety, and fear. If I'm not feeling any of those things, or really a combination of all, it's hard to sit down and have the writing flow.

Me either. Other then Doctor Who and somewhat Legends of Tommorow, I haven't seen many and I haven't read any. If I'd like to write it though? I'm going have to read some. And most of the books I read have been part of a series. Usually ranging in supernatural fantasy, which is another genre I've written.

I'm doing music now though. I mean, I can't sing, or read music, or do anything except write down the lyrics in my head, but I've been working on "RPA the Musical" for a few years now.

Legends of Tommorow is almost a parody of the universe it's in and time travel shows in general. One of the early leads is even Rory's actor from Doctor Who, who dresses a bit like the Doctor did.

[V]

Hmmm, so do you have a favourite book?

Interesting, I'll have to remember Legends of Tomorrow for when I want to sit down and watch a show.


What is the best fruit?

[Omac]

1. If I remember correctly, the third book in the Last Apprentice Series was the most fun I've had while reading, but no I don't have a favorite book.

2. You'd have to watch some of Arrow and Flash first to understand what's going on. It's a spinoff of those shows and deals with overlapping plot lines and crossovers.

3. I haven't had much fruit lately, but if I had to pick apples, because apples, I would pick apples.
