Have updated the forward compared to the other blog site for Continuum. Figured it would be a good start for blogs about writing my novel here. Remember, I'm not a professional writer, just hope you experience at least a little bit of the wonder and enjoyment I had dreaming it.

Life, as it is expressed on Earth, is but a small green and supple twig on just one tree in the galactic forest of life. Some of the trees of life in the grand and vast galactic forest are very old with steadfast roots. Some are very young and insignificant, subsiding on what ever is dropped into the forest floor. For those higher forms of civilizations on planets who study the varied and wondrous forms of life within the galaxy, this is common knowledge. What is not common knowledge are the other vastly different forms of life within this forest that are not part of any tree. Just as a forest on Earth contains many different types of foliage, from tall majestic noble redwoods that feast on sunlight, to lowly lichens that subside rock bound minerals. So to does the galaxy contain equally varied forms of both existence and subsistence. Life forms in our galaxy range from molecules that are slightly more than inorganic reactions, to life forms that live in, yet are not bound by, the universe’s 4-dimensions of space-time. Where the former exists in great abundance throughout the galaxy, non-sentient and without name, the latter exists in very few numbers and are simply known as the Continuum Weavers. They are the oldest lifeforms in our universe and each tend to their portion of the galactic forest of life. The Continuum Weavers are extremely powerful race that live billions of years, yet are not almighty nor immortal. How they came into being is not known. They interact with each other very, very rarely, but on occasion, do need to enlist one of those under their charge to help them with their weaving.
