Quite a haul at the mall...

I bought a cheap sketchbook for under 9RM, 80 sheets of creme paper and a soft cover with elastic closure. This will be the sketchbook I do my studies in when I'm on the road, etc. I want to study expression, and angles, and form / movement of the body. Later I plan to sell copies of it -even the original sketchbook itself to raise money so scarce these days.

Also got a new Rolson screwdriver set from ACE. They are closing operations in Malaysia IIRC, and everything is cheaper, up to 30% off. The old set, which has 3x more bits got lost in the move to the shoebox. I think somebody dropped it and the bits went missing. This one is very nicely finished, ratcheting, with 14 bits so I can hopefully disassemble my G-Shocks and change their batteries myself.

Dad bought some plastic bins at IKEA and I got splashed with my MiXue coffee. Was somehow thirsty, even after an iced tea for lunch.

Am coding again this afternoon. Decided to not use a recursive function after all. Just a series of link / node finder loops flat in a big line iterator loop. Confident that this is the right solution. Each finder loop has its own counter so that the iterator count remains independent. It should work and is easy to understand.

Liew witchy forces continue their attacks, destroying Chrisitans from the west who are trying to get me to help them. So we welded armor plating over the Liew witches' nerves internal and external. They now are unable to shove onto us or our emotions much. 

The situation with money, America and elsewhere...

A request came in to talk about money -earning it, having enough to go on. And it's not the first time I've been asked how to make enough by Americans and Malays too.

Since we are in Christian space (I am a Christian), we might as well go thru the 5 ways money appears magically in our hands,

1. Money transfers from old times to new. Do not squander it. If you see someone squander it, then pick it up if you can roll some out of their property, ideas, etc. Yes, for the Christian, money is an opportunity for prayer -I found something someone doesn't care about but the Lord does.
2. Money come by saving and investing in ventures that spread Gospel. The Christian market is a huge one and those who know how to teach better, live cleaner, can share their testimony. There are a lot of junk testimonies but a life lived well is money in waiting. Tell your story, write that book.
3. Talent in Christian communities is here and there good. Be associated with talented people to earn more money, but really, it is a joy to fill the world with the Lord's grace and love -in worship to Him.
4. Social media is not a good way for the Christian to move in. Rumors are, that soon SM is going to be limited and perhaps marked Beast territory. I would say, if you are a writer, keep writing on your personal blog. I am here, on DogBlots.blogger.com, where sometimes hundreds of people gather to read an article I wrote -in 24 hours.
5. Christians help one another. I am known among the Chinese as 'mou kuai yoong' -a worthless person but I have a talent -it is inspiring others to improve. I am some kind of editor / producer for creative work who never gets paid. Don't be shy to ask a Christian for help -he may point you to people like me, and I to others you may need as well.

Coding going slow...

I'm still trying to figure out net4spice's recursive node finding function. I can't believe it's so hard to code what the diagram says on paper / my iPad's Freeform drawing pad. I must be slow of mind.

But today, I woke up early, managed to get cleaned well, and showered. Disinfected my room and am ventilating it.

Liew forces are attacking, shoved onto me by the west. We don't really want to kill anyone and that's taking a toll on our bodies. Maybe we are too longsuffering. 

... 

In analyzing some people's writing style, it came down to how I generate fiction prose. At any one time, I am thinking about 4 things (as I write to a stretchable outline).

1. Every scene or conversation / dialog has to hook the reader. It has to be concise and sweetly worded, with consequences for the rest of the book.
2. Every character has to have links to the other characters, and they affect one another (as they would in real life). How they affect must be choreographed so it appears also sweet.
3. The language used for descriptions, even dialog has to leave holes to fill in later. You can divulge a lot but always reserve what you plausibly can, for later.
4. Think of the reader and give them plenty of variety, make your book lively as possible, with quotes, songs, poetry, dream sequences, monologues, metaphors etc. coming in every chapter at the very least.

I should explain 'sweet'. It simply means pleasant to read, not jarring, not impossible, nor unlikely, but smooth, going down.

Sometimes, it's hard to begin a book or find a continuation. You may have a story to tell but how? There are some who get into character, who write about people of certain character. For myself, I use anchors. For my novella, iS, I started off with a bow (archery lesson) because it has always been a favorite of mine. From there, I branched out into knife fighting, psych warfare, weapons of mass destruction.

Along the way, I needed help from subplots to sweeten the story with, so (and I may be wrong) I introduced twists (mild surprises essentially) and extra characters who were interesting, to add and carry on a level or layer of believability. This is not padding but pacing.

Padding is when nobody is saying anything that drives the plot, or the author is going off on something (we sense) leads nowhere interesting.

Pacing is like channel switching on your TV or YouTube. Sometimes, a different character or concept they bear in, has to be the channel your reader watches.

...

Catching your own mistakes while writing can be difficult depending on the kind of writer you are, whether you do draft to draft editing or just unspool, whether you outline or just wing it.

There are 4 types of mistakes you can spot easily and that will make your book much better,

1. Breaking lines / flow where it shouldn't be broken
2. Out of sequence reveals (big or small alike)
3. Indecision and poor reasoning (I will explain)
4. Putting out your concepts before loving your reader

Decisions and reason are two very important parts of writing. Make the critical decisions before starting a book. Like in my novella, iS -I had the big picture sorted out: east vs west, man vs machine, that it would top off at circa 20k words. Then, as I outlined and discovered, I was able to make good decisions with the right reasons attached.

The Jewish passport and the kiamat...

There are firstly a few things to say about the Jews -a race of people who racially discriminate against all other races on earth, to the extent that they consider themselves superior. The people of the One True God. And '1000 times' more important than any other race.

We, on the other hand, are Christians -some of the most misguided religious / spiritual people, since the time of Christ and His apostles -up to present day. We cannot agree or stop from insulting one another, Jews, and Moslems.

My friends in Iran, this is a tough time for you, as you bear the onslaught of Jew and Christian and by request have wanted to know: what then is God's purpose for Persia and the other Arab kingdoms?

God's first purpose, is to gather Israel's enemies against itself, and to show He (YHWH) can defeat them, and defend His people.

God's second purpose is to reverse the power of Israel over the earth.

God's final purpose is not to destroy Iran or any country, but to make it worship Him in Bait-Muqqadis / Jerusalem.

We know that these 3 accomplishments of God in the Highest, will lead to 1000 years of peace, a confrontation with Satan who is entrenched in and around the earth, and the coming of the age beyond, the golden city, the New Jerusalem.

But first, we must contend with Antichrist. Those who worship the Beast man will perish. And those who do what is right at the time of suffering, (you will be told by angels) will endure until the end in Heaven to come.

Antichrist is not Moslem, nor is he fully Jewish. He is expected to come from Europe and is a leader of compassion and understanding. He is predicted to actually be a Christian, and a very clever man.

The role of America in the Middle East is to prevent / hold back anything destructive from damaging God's prophecy. As such, it occurs that the US and every nation on earth is urging peace.

Anger towards America is not the solution. Anger towards Israel is not the solution. According to scripture, the solution is anger towards Christians. 

This may seem unusual. But it is in accordance with God's plan to say: I have been fair.

And many of all races and religions are expected to die. First the Christians, then the Jews, then the Moslems. One or the other betrays one or the other in cowardice and hate.

There are many important things to say. That we cleanse ourselves by worship of God most High. When Jesus said to cleanse ourselves internally, he was referring to liars and thieves of souls among his people. Not everyone is dirty inside. Do not be cheated -are you a Pharisee? Worship of God most High is the only way to endure the Kiamat. As Jesus said, he who does the will of 'MY FATHER' in Heaven is my brother, my sister.

Strive to do what God asks you to do. Search for Him in your prayers. Have an eye on time and times to come. Be moderate in your initial actions that He might guide you towards a higher purpose more easily.

...

This section is for my Christian brothers and sisters. Do not be swayed by false teachers and false prophets. Test the spirits. Know your true friends from it. Know that everyone has their limit(s).

If you want to believe in Jesus, God, and Mary -it is okay. Likewise if you don't believe Satan is supernatural (like God). Likewise if you believe Jews are good / bad / just another people. Likewise if you believe in the resurrection or the 'rapture', or the 'eternal soul'. What are BELIEFS? Do you BELIEVE we can walk on water and fly? Why not have more of that? Then all will see God is good. The miracle of salvation is not by BELIEFS or by outward miracles. The miracle of salvation performed by Christ 2000 years ago is that we are transformed where we do not notice it.

Have you ever met someone who does not believe in God / Jesus? Do you know what they think to themselves? I have heard them, and they are afraid and selfish. They are brutal and simplistic lovers of useful people, which includes themselves in first place. They are knowing liars who spread mediocrity in spirit, erode the confidence of the righteous. They are in fact evil naysayers deep down. Why they chose this path is probably in-bred disobedience multiplied by mediated torture.

Now do you see how beautiful we all are in Christ? Be beautiful for Christ. I guess that is all.

...

By request, there has to be something said for Israel -even if Malaysia does not have diplomatic ties to Israel, I have been asked to comment on the crisis it faces. Not being a Jew, I should have less to say.

It is impossible to defeat all the Arab nations. To recover from the massacre in Gaza is impossible. For they will say the holocaust taught the Jews nothing.

It is therefore important to listen to the voice of compromise. Perhaps with compromise, there can be peace and a longer lasting peace. Peace is the ultimate aim of mankind. Towards God, towards one another. Peace is Islam. Peace is in Ibrahim. Peace is in righteousness. Righteousness is in showing what you have -not being afraid to show it -and to show what you believe in. Peace is in righteousness as righteousness is in prosperity. Be prosperous, be at peace.

1:45am and a doubtful story submission...

I spruced up a story for submission to a magazine and it will probably be my last attempt to submit flash or shorts anywhere. I want to get SDU in the door somewhere somehow and am not sure where it fits best. Also trying to apply for a job in the publishing industry as a book / novel consultant. I have a keen eye for books and what makes authors special and I would like to work in that industry.

Didn't achieve much today, just that Mom fell and was hospitalized for half the afternoon. She's now fine, and well cared for. Tomorrow, will work on net4spice again as it really needs to get done somehow without using AI to generate the key algorithms so I can claim copyright.

I have several things to mention about books which greatly increase their appeal,

1. People read your cover first, the the blurb, then the first 3 paragraphs to know it is good. Rarely does anyone read the first 3 pages or 3 chapters -just part of the first page.
2. You can be yourself while writing the book -it is your artistic license. You may be hurt and disgruntled but still write a great book if you outline yet realize that outlines are flexible as a plot or cast of characters produces new material.
3. You have to type like the reader likes to read -even a prematurely started paragraph or an observation breaking up a description can throw a reader off.
4.  Blurbs are often too general or specific. Aim to describe what the reader will take away from the book more than what the reader will find the story is about. Sometimes the lines blur.
5. Covers are so important. Design a cover that browsers can't ignore and have to flip your book thru.
6. When you are struggling with a novel, and perhaps you break it down into manageable chunks, always consider infusing variety -a bit of dialogue, a bit of description from various points of view so the story fills each chunk and says a lot. This drives the reader to flip pages.
7. When you design a world for your tale, introduce it at opportune moments when there are story breaks. Someone ended something and there is an info dump or a monologue / dispute etc.
8.  Create memorable characters by infusing them with aspects of yourself or your role models, even both. 
9. A story can be simple with good characters. A story can be complex with characters that struggle. A story can be bland but the characters do interesting things. 
10. A story without soul is a lost cause no matter how amazing your world. Soul is what is bigger than the premise and its inhabitants. And it shows thru the infusing of a tale with wisdoms and axioms.
11. Blurbs and covers these days look very much the same because of computer generated art. Aim for traditional media to make your covers, and generate blurbs based not on the plot or the world, but what a reader can expect to gain from your book.
12. Use the way you'd talk to someone to see if you're writing unnaturally.

 I'm soon not to be writing anymore after I finish SDU. It may take all April. 

...

I sent SDU to a publisher. At long last. I hope they read it / find it interesting. This morning, already past 11am, to try and finish n4s' node making recursive function. I don't think I will restart writing SDU until next week.

Will probably not take the LRT today and just run in the park on and off for half an hour. I have found a pretty good algorithm for discovering nodes in circuits but it's hard to nail 100%. Staring at it confuses me but I know this is the ultimate recursive one that will work.

Liew witches lashing at people's heads even tho we trapped most of the command.

Back from a brief run. Legs got tired so had to come home. Should run every weekend. Feeling better, more regulated. 

...

Just worked out, brushed. Will take my meds now. Feeling energized. Am slowly edging to complete net4spice. 

Racialsim and the 4-6 differences…

By request, there needs to be clarification: are all races fundamentally the same? Answer: NO, there are up to 6 differences, a minimum of 4.

1. In the eyes of God, he will treat each nation differently because they use the spirit in a different way. Each nation having a peculiar way of worship. This is because God revealed Himself differently here and there to create that different nation and its history.
2. In the eyes of God, there is gentile and Jew, and there are further categories of gentile, up to 4 kinds which require different nourishments. Not every race can feel satisfied the same way in order to obey God.
3. Women of certain races do not fit men of other races. Logically, they should be treated differently. The fact that our species has highly differentiated females is a reason for racial divisions. God made most females from most all races who are desirable, very similar but the desirable men, rather different.
4. Language was differentiated by God Himself. Following from that, most races placed importance on different things. How should they treat other races the same?
5. This is minor, un-PC, but some races operate and look superior to other races, thus are treated with more honor.
6. Also minor, un-PC, some races are to be wiped out or will be much reduced, and they will be treated with less honor. This is because God is angered by their striving against Him, generation over generation.

Who goes to heaven?

There is some confusion about the following statements:

1. Salvation is God's free gift

2. We are judged according to works / deeds

3. We must fit in the Lamb's book to be saved

Furthermore, there is prophecy, something which guides and guards us, being given, as a species, free-will.

Therefore, with FREE-WILL, and FREE SALVATION, and a CHRIST IMAGE to adhere to, thus are those known to the Lord, saved.

We also have to consider that He (God) knew us from the foundation of the world and in Jesus prepared a place for us. We also consider His claim, not to have lost any of us he foreknew.

This is illogical unless you believe that we Christians (because I am Christian not Moslem or Buddhist) fit a certain type or types of people. Thus are represented in the Lamb's book of life.

Next thing is the eternal question:

Is it who you are that fits or what you've done that fits with the Lamb's book?

The answer is you cannot be who you are without doing what you like to do and to learn from it. You cannot stray far who adhere to Truth, Light, Salt, and deny Satan and his lies. Achieving every milestone in life ensures you fit the type(s) of Christian in the book of Life.

Furthermore, what innocuous things may you do that are actually sinful / destructive?

The answer is that free will allows you to be (like me) say, a watch buff. Someone (like me) who has an orgasm once in a while. Free will doesn't allow you to break laws and other illegal things. Free will can be what you do in privacy, tho not in absolute secrecy.

1. So to sum up, we can do many good deeds so why don't we?
2. We can learn from mistakes and by reading scripture so why don't we?
3. We are given FREE salvation because we must not judge or fight for it.
4. We must not fight over salvation because we believe in PROPHECY.
5. Ultimately, prophecy puts fear of God into us and hope eternal.
6. Whether or not we become a Christ image doesn't matter -just live your life well.

And it came up, that we love the pleasures of the flesh. What's up with flesh over spirit? The truth is that nothing matters more than spirit -true. But we still have to eat bread. And eating good bread is a worship opportunity. Loving your wife is loving yourself, thus loving your neighbor (paraphrase of various verses). So is sexual love a sin? Every sexual act is a worship opportunity as well. Good loving is good loving.

What about watches, cars, real estate, iPhones etc. Do Christians subscribe to these things -luxuries? IMHO (and I don't really know), there have to be some luxuries in life. We live for pampering, holidays, celebrations which are all worship opportunities and outreach opportunities. So to have say a record player or a nice watch to wear isn't strictly bourgeois. In fact it may keep you happy in desperate times and be worth something if sold. No hard and fast rules of consumerism -what sells, what's bought.
