About Rowe Writes: ua-cam.com/video/aDxWwMVkL6M/v-deo.html
About this project: I am writing a weekly sci-fi story to the theme of Isaac Arthur’s SFIA videos. It’s a crazy challenging timeframe to create a good short story in, and to do so publicly is even more daunting. I’m just hoping some good stories come out of this, I have fun writing them, and most importantly, the audience enjoys!
Thanks for stopping by!

    P.E. Rowe, where did you go?

    • @RoweLit
      @RoweLit 5 годин тому

      I am working on a novel with a collaborator. So, I haven't really gone anywhere, but it sure seems that way for me too. Don't worry, the Misfits and the weeklies will be back.

    I'd REALLY like to get the next act in this story without waiting weeks or months.

    • @RoweLit
      @RoweLit День тому

      The next story in this arc is called "Ascent," Herb. It's here: ua-cam.com/video/43fDWX-OAhs/v-deo.html . There's one more Misfits episode after that, but it might be a little hiatus before the next one. I'm doing my best to juggle three major projects (including the Misfits). Believe me, if I could go any faster, I would. Appreciate your patience 🙏

    Y'know, despite 13,000 years of agony and suffering, the complete annihilation of an intelligent race of beings, and the utter destruction of an entire planet, I rather enjoyed that one. Oh, and could someone please pass the cupcakes?...

    Great story! Sad that he had to sacrifice his soulmate Nadia for the sake of saving his other self. I'm wondering what ripples that will make in the present universe?

      The story also makes me think about what friendships were missing out on in this life because we're too busy? A lot of people from other countries think Americans are too busy.

    On all points: Agreed. Logic is an elegant & beautiful thing. On its composition: Well-framed & character well-chosen. (I wonder if Emilio Musk has heard or read this one?...)

    If you've sought out to touch people's souls with words, Mr. Rowe, you have succeeded with this piece. As the tears have been streaming down my face these last 10 minutes, I, as a lover of music, can see that you *get it*. Further, you can combine that with a storytelling savoir-faire that brings us, the readers and listeners, along on an emotional journey that leaves an imprint on our lived experience. This is not hyperbole, in my case- I will never forget this beautiful story. Every music student should read or hear this. Simply masterful. In earnest, Rob Sedleski

    • @RoweLit
      @RoweLit 6 днів тому

      Wow, thanks, Rob! Yes, music has always been very important to me, and maybe here this is an example of art trying to imitate art--something like a story about the moment when Ana Vidovic brings Bach into a room and being there to listen in. Humbled and grateful for your feedback 🙏 Glad you're enjoying 😃

    Son: Why is 6 afraid of 7? Me: Why? Son: Because 7 ate 9! (I know this has nothing to do with the story, but my son told that joke to random strangers at the grocery store for months. That was over 15 years ago.)

    Isn't it amazing that a "science fiction" story can read like an autobiography, teach us lessons about unfettered genius (and the jealousy of it), and still not have to "world-build" in the slightest. This great story was told without a single alien, laser blast, or alteration of spacetime. Truly inspirational, Mr. Rowe. Well done.

    Slower than normal episode. Very liberal progressive ideaologies throughout. Feminism, Anti-capitalism, Virtue signaling. Where is Birch? Carolina's far too good of a character and Transom backs her up? Makes no sense.
