Paul Inman liked an update for The Life Engineered

Hello my fellow biologicals!

Things are moving along smoothly as I slowly but surely work with Inkshares to bring The Life Engineered back to book form in an improved format. It's pretty exciting and all but I have to keep the brain busy on other projects.

Next month I'll be starting the second half of The Arch-Android, the sequel to The Life Engineered and I'm pretty stoked. In order to be of the proper mindset, I've immersed myself into the world of robotics once more, reading articles and other fiction on the wonderful world of artificial intelligence.

Earlier this week I stumbled onto a short piece on io9 that set my imagination ablaze. If you want a peek into how I came up with the ideas for Capeks and the future society of robots that populate the future in The Life Engineered, click here to read my blog post about the article, but mostly all the wild speculation I dive into.

I hope you enjoy both the blog post and your weekend. Hopefully Monday I'll have something cool to show you all.

    Hello INMAN INSIDERS!

    It has been a while since my last written update, so...four quickies.  

    1) I have written a non-fiction piece with the hope of getting it into an anthology about technology here on Inkshares  -  Go here to read it and follow.

    2) The manuscript for AGELESS is finished.  In fact it's been finished for a LONG time.  I am currently reading it one more time before sending it in to the pros.  The goal is to have submitted by next week.

    3) I have finally figured out how to post the video updates to the Inkshares AGELESS page (at least the most current video).  They will change about once a week so click over and watch.

    4) For those of you that are social media savvy come follow our fan page (where you can watch all the back logged video updates) and read my tiny stories (also called Tweets) on Twitter! 

    AND BONUS (cus I like the way you smell)!

    5) KEEP SPREADING THE WORD!

    Have your friends/family/co-workers/enemies/frenemies/nemesis/neighbors(even those weird ones you don't like)/gas station attendants/that mean kid down the street/the strange-old-lady-always-cutting-her-flowers-in-her-nightgown-in-the-middle-of-the-day-all-summer/bff's/4th cousins removed/your-one-uncle-that-lives-in-another-country-but-you-can't-be-bothered-to-remember-which-one...to PRE-ORDER AGELESS!!

    Thanks everyone, I wouldn't be here without you!

        Hey All! 

        It's been ONLY one week since the contest ended!  It feels like years!  I wanted to throw a quick update your way...I am smack in the middle of getting the pre-production questionnaire and creative brief done.  I am finding it very challenging, and stimulating, to answer questions about something I have created.  

        You guys have all been so amazing with your support, maybe you could help with this too.  In your opinion, what book(s) have you read that compare to Ageless?  It could be a character or theme.  What does it remind you of?  Hopefully, it is unique, but if there is something, what is it?  I know we have backers from all over the globe, and your opinion and feelings matter to me!  I want you to experience this process along with me.  If you have any thoughts, let me know!  

        Also, 24 more books to sell until we reach 800 pre-orders!  We can reach 24 more AMAZINGLY FANTASTIC, WONDERFUL, GORGEOUS...(adverb placement) books easily!  You guys are a force of nature!  And nature is untamable!

        I have added the artwork I have designed (read borrowed) for the book cover.  In my mind it was great, but now that I am looking at it...yikes!  The concept is cool.  I think, ultimately, this will not make the cut for the actual book.  

        OH, first draft is due in AUGUST.  I have begun combing through the manuscript to clean up anything I can see, but these eyes have lived with this too long, so there will be somethings that get past me for certain.  Whose idea was it to make this thing a massive 400+ pages!  Jeez, imagination settle down over there!

        Until next time, 24 more to break 800!

        Paul
