Nick East (Indie Writer)
Aspiring fantasy author and geek, retired due to a bunch of chronic illnesses.
The Last Philosopher is my first book under the subtitle, Nothing is Everything.
It’s been called imaginative, funny, and unique. People have even gone so far as to compare it to #DouglasAdams and #TerryPratchett.
My response to that comparison, is to go hide under the covers for a week with embarrassment.

@rhythmisaprancer That’s for professional skippers I think it wants to stay a happy amateur skipper 😜
1·4 days ago@Randelung Technically correct, the best kind of correct 😁
@TrickDacy That’s what makes it funny 😂
@ryven There is often so much overlap that the distinction becomes pretty pointless 🤔

@SchmidtGenetics My tomatoes are on the grow bench, it’s not warm enough for them outside yet 😁
@veniasilente Sure, you can do it that way, I’m somewhere inbetween, I certiainly have a small worldbuilding addiction but I also try to fit in the story 😁
@AbouBenAdhem Ah, well I’ve been told my ‘destinctive narrative voice’ is one of the best parts of my writing so I suppose drawing attention to the ‘constructed’ manner of the text won’t be an issue 😁
@AbouBenAdhem I use quotes from characters made up by me or anonymous quotes from the world I’m writing, so I definitely use it as a bit of extra worldbuilding or “larger in-world literary context.”
Not sure what you mean by “the text being constructed” isn’t all text? 🤔😁
@Cellari Maybe fiction is the reality and we’re just the shadow copies on the walls of the cave? 🤔 😁
@Diplomjodler3 Just like no writer has ever taken any inspiration from anything that has ever happened 😁
1·18 days ago@lemonhead2 You should go to Belfast and tell them that 😜 😁
@coolie4 That is a good point, in some cases there’s a logic behind it, but the best answer is probably that I didn’t think off it 😁
@kvasir476 The books you’re reading obviously aren’t interesting enough 😜
@Quazatron Can they survive in brackish water? If they can they might survive here, but I can’t say I’ve seen any sea frogs 🤔
@Vinylraupe It says pretty specifically in the post, I could tell you exactly but I choose not to 😁
@sylver_dragon Are they trying to get into an R-rated movie? 😂
@TropicalDingdong The water yes, but I prefer there to also be a bit more sun…
