There will be a bit more of a technology focus than in book one, and I have a lot of technical details to work through from that perspective.

On top of that, I'm in the middle of coauthoring a dark dry comedy with my son, Solomon Goudsward, author of 'A Good Death To Self', plus an additional comedy novel.(less)

Sometimes an idea was so great I had to start a whole new band, just to pursue that one idea.

One thing that's really great about switching to fiction is how spacious it is. Especially after writing songs where you were limited to maybe two or three short verses to tell a story, because really, that is what a lot of songs are. So I guess I have worked on both extreme ends of the space spectrum, and honestly, they are both really fun for their own challenges.

I write because I like it. I write becasue I have to - I have ideas inside that NEED to get out.(less)

Quotes by Ken Goudsward  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Any perception, observation, understanding, theory, model, or system can be assumed to be incomplete, with the exceptional case that the observer happens to be God himself.”
Ken Goudsward

“A basic premise of ontography is that, when we attempt to study a thing, we are actually studying a part of a representation of our perception of that thing. The object of study is a model of what exists rather than the actual prototypical thing itself.”
Ken Goudsward

“Rule 1: Each scene must advance the plot and the characters, but more importantly, the plot and characters must advance the theme.
Rule 2: Do not be obvious about rule 1.”
Ken Goudsward
