“Passed Life”: Fear and Danger of a Time Travel Paradox

Posted on January 29, 2021 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

Time travel is one of my favorite memes. There are many ways to approach how REAL time travel would work.

Meandering Monday about the Habits That You’re Used To

Posted on January 25, 2021 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

We humans are creatures of habit. Habits are patterns we develop that help us navigate our environment (at least the good ones are.) Our brains are taxed by having to make constant decisions, so we establish behaviors that keep us from having to think – we operate on autopilot in regards to what’s stable around … Continue reading →

Posted on January 20, 2021 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

My blog entries were all posted on schedule. I have one story that has returned from market, and is waiting to be sent to another, but it is still within the allowed 7-day window. In marketing, I continued promoting with Indies Unlimited Thrifty Thursdays and Kindle Unlimited Fridays every week. No sign of any of the … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about Gas-lighting US Into a Dimmer Tomorrow…

Posted on January 11, 2021 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment
