Unearthing an Earthing Stone
To create believable fiction, a writer must
get their facts right.
Earthing Stones, one of several artifacts created
for the Star Ways ,
have been designed to maintain a cohesive back story for this starry tale.
Earthing Stones pack a presence. They are tall, dark and (I think)
handsome. What’s not to love about the
biggest pet rocks on the planet?
In fantasy fiction, writers spin magic with
their word craft. They implant seemingly
inert objects, such as rocks, with significance that is directly proportional
to the requirements of the plot. These mythical
devices should give the impression that they have always existed. That they exist for a purpose, and if that
purpose should ever be challenged, then get ready for a story climax!
From the tale’s start to end, these objects
must abide by the world that the author intended. And in a science/fantasy tale, scientifically
proven laws of nature must mesh with, well, the lore’s laws.
Creators, whether they be writers, painters,
sculptures, movie directors, carpenters, bakers or candlestick makers, when
seeking to replicate the eternal story, will leave no stone unturned, no earth
unplowed to transform ‘potential’ truth into truth.
Scientifically improvable details may enhance
a fiction, just as they can do for a face cream, but don’t let that get in the
way of a good story. Your creation story
is your own. Keep it real.
The rock in the this week’s Reel Time
might look like an insubstantial object to some, but to me, the creator of the
Star Ways, by its very nature, it rocks with more biophotonic energy than
anything else on earth.
Jasmine Neutron Star is the first book of the Star
Ways Chronicles. It is a novel most
suitable for young adult and teenager readers of speculative, fantasy / science
fiction, urban fantasy. It is a humorous
account of Jasmine’s first adventure into the world of light – Quanta. She is a spirem – a new kind of superhero –
and perfect for the sphere of Terra.
