Hi there! Out of curiosity, do you think you'll ever write something like 'An Act of Indignation' again? Not necessarily another war story, but something on the same sort of 'scale' that has like a huge undertaking with tons and tons of research, super-rich world-building, a slow-burn pace, and where, chapter by chapter, you gradually peel back the layers of Rabbot's characters, etc. etc. etc. the way you did in AAOI. I hope that makes sense! Idk how else to describe it hahaha I'm probably AAOI's #1 fan at this point lol ♡

It's so lovely to hear that you enjoyed "An Act of Indignation!" To be honest, I don't know if I have another of those in me. 65K of such research-intense, thorny material is a lot. I have been given An Assignment, which is a longer piece, but I probably can't get to that until toward the end of the year. And I still have a bunch of smaller pieces to write, too.

Writing AAOI was really hard and really taxing. I like the end result, but man, it took a lot out of me. So I dunno.

When it’s announced that a Bay Area middle school teacher is one of three heroes sent to save the world, San Francisco clamors to rename things to “Ryland Grace.” Grover Cleveland Middle is quick to the draw, becoming Ryland Grace Middle the very next school year. Grace also gets a street, of course, a science wing at Stanford, a state park along the coast — by the time the Beetles return, you could probably throw a rock in San Francisco and hit a Ryland Grace reference.

Eva Stratt, meanwhile, is a stain. Graffiti tucked away in alleys and under bridges, forever painted over by the powers that be. A name meant to be forgotten. Stratt has always known this was part of the deal: after all, humanity needs a villain just as much as it needs its heroes. The best she can hope for is to be erased entirely on Earth.

And yet, light-years away, there is a beloved body of water, its surface dancing with artificial waves, that Ryland Grace wistfully refers to as The Sea of Stratt.

the crew getting to meet a hero of early human space travel seems like such a Star Trek plot anyway

And Vulcans having a non space faring pre warp neighbor they politely leave alone? Also very in character

Something neuroscience-y that helps with prose: attention is selective. A character will not notice everything in a room. They will notice what matters to their goal, fear, desire, training, wound, or obsession. A jealous character notices hands. a hungry character notices food. A soldier notices exits. A lonely character notices pairs. Description becomes character when attention has a bias.

Sometimes you see the start of an art video and your first thought is “oh no” because you just know it’s a trickster artist.

(source) its so funny how actual Greek and Homeric scholars are talking about this movie vs the fact that people on tumblr are acting like Nolan personally dug up Homer's actual bones and pissed on them
