The Great Ship of Knowledge® -Learning Earth's Deathly History (2nd-edition unedited manuscript)

William Bailey

While our true-forms rest on starships parked far from Earth, deep in the Milky-Way-Galaxy, our spirits remain here in this virtual-reality “Learning Earth’s Deathly History.”

 

What is the Reality of Our World?

Isn’t “reality” simply our minds convincing us to accept life and our surroundings as factual? Needless to say, just because we believe something is factual – doesn’t necessarily mean it's real!

That is – what if I inform you that virtual-world technology has already evolved beyond our wildest dreams, and that we’re presently living virtual-lives in a false-reality. That we’re spiritually-living on this perfect forgery of Earth, so we can virtually experience, as if physically there, the cataclysmic failures of humanity that happened on Earth over 1000 years ago. This true-to-life virtual-history-lesson is something we must all mentally endure before ever being spiritually awakened from the lifelike cataclysmic nightmare all of us will soon horrifyingly experience.

Even more amazing, while our minds are parked here “Learning Earth’s Deathly History” – our true-blooded-forms remain stowed safely inside life-cells onboard spaceships parked far from Earth in the Milky-Way-Galaxy.

At this moment we’re living out virtual-existences here in Earth’s past, during the Early 21st Century, when humanity is divided by ideological hatred. This ravenous hatred will soon climax when America suffers a sinister act of terror that will snowball overnight into nuclear World War III.

I'm back working on this 2nd edition to "The Great Ship of Knowledge ~Learning Earth's Deathly History" as she sets drydocked in her literary shipyard. If all goes well she should set sail back into the Sea of Imagination yet this year after she has her grammatical riggings upgraded! :~)

I still hope to finish the 2nd edition to "Learning Earth's Deathly History" this year. I also hope I can find a profession editor, that I can afford, who will truly want to polish my work.

I just reposted Chapter 3 “The Time is Near” after doing some final detail work.

Hi William, I read your pitch and found it very intriguing. I couldn't wait to begin.
Youre writing is wonderful. Its so relaxed and makes the reader feel feel relaxed too. I thought to myself how interesting everything sounded, and I wanted to read every word.
What you say is all true about the games etc. It brings home how much we have advanced in the last few years, and how quickly we can advance in the next. It makes me wonder, as I have done for a while, how times can change so easily and we dont know what's around the corner - it could be anything. And yet we mosey on as if everythings going to be the same tommorrow in our safe little lives.
You had an experience and it changed your perspective on life. I think this is something to tell the world about - if they will listen. I believe those who have ears will.
Your book is brilliant especially considering the dyslexia etc. When you say something seemed to write the book for you - well strange things do happen, I know from experience.
6 stars. I'd love to back you today but I have promises to keep. So the beginning of the month you are definately backed!

As soon as I began to read the first chapter

I've reposted the front-matter along with the first three chapters after doing some brush touching on them. I think they read and show much better now. I'm working my way back through my entire manuscribt adding in the finer details as I go.

Yay, I finally see some light at the end of the tunnel! :~)
I only have 10 more pages of rewriting to finish chapter 22 before I write chapter 23 and do some final brush touching prior to completing my 2nd edition manuscript to “Learning Earth’s Deathly History.”

Thanks RJ!
Once I’m finished, I hope to find a good editor to edit my entire 2nd edition manuscript and address things like overused key words and other issues I might be print blind to. I’m working on rewriting Chapter 22 now and then I need to write Chapter 23. After that I should be done other than some final brush touching before the editor to be determined gets her or his hands on it.

One of the most unusual introductions to a story I've ever read. I have an odd feeling about this......... It's initially going on my WL. One point to look out for; there's a tendency to use the word 'crafts' rather a lot. Avoid if possible.

interesting concept but the opening simply did nothing to grab my attenion and 'force' me the reader to keep on reading. Also, the book format takes this story out of a immersive environment where I AM the character to something closer to reading an autobiography - which for me isn't my idea of fun.

Sorry if I am coming accross as too harsh
