Beginning the Process – Part II
A question I hear a lot from people who are trying to get started writing is how to find the time to write. Our lives are so busy the way it is and often there isn’t enough hours in the day to get done everything we want so how are we supposed to add something else in there? This goes back to why you write. If there is a passion there for writing, you’ll make or find the time to start. If you believe in your story and characters, you’ll figure out how to get them onto paper.

Beginning the Writing Process
There’s no one way that’s right or wrong for writing a book. Everyone’s style is going to be different and as you progress in your writing career your style will most likely change.

When you know why you want to write, the writing becomes so much easier.

Throughout recorded history there have been cases reported of strange noises, music, and voices where the source cannot be located.

Whether through the guise of a religious experience or something that occurred during the ordinary course of a day, people kept hearing voices, music, and other strange noises.

The Mystery of Bouvet Island
Often people like to use the expression, ‘in the middle of nowhere’ to describe a location that is hard to reach or not near anything of significance. While there are a few places in the world that easily meet this definition, one place that is so remote and so isolated that it’s never been inhabited by humans is the small Bouvet Island. The word desolation barely begins to describe this small island yet Bouvet Island holds a mystery that has haunted researchers to this very day.

Teleportation Events
Last week we looked at the phenomenon known as teleportation, the instantaneous moving from one location to another by means of an unknown force. From the first known usage of teleportation in Science Fiction writing, to its popularization in the Star Trek television series, to discussions as to how teleportation could actually happen, last week I covered the broader points of the mystery. This week I want to take a look at strange events and occurrences, certain events and legends that make some people believe that the science fiction technology of teleportation is already taking place on planet Earth.
