Steampunk

As I make today's one liner, I thought I'd chat about Steampunk and why I've chosen to write in that setting. I'm not particularly knowledgeable about the history of Victorian England or the 1880s, but when it comes to speculating about early technology, the combination of art and science, and discovering mysteries of the universe, it's like a playground for the imagination. (Also, as cliche as it may be, goggles are a guilty pleasure of mine.)

Sure, I often dream about breaking the chains of working for corporate, but my ultimate goal is to write for teens and young adults, even if it means keeping the day job. Reading is one of the most important things you can do as a youngster, no matter what your background is. And Steampunk is a new genre that is ripe for building a world in.

To learn as much as I can about Steampunk, I'm reading everything I can get my hands on. If you, the reader of this silly blog, have any personal favorites that embody the Steampunk universe, feel free to leave them as a comment!

Today's one liner:

An unlucky train steward joins airship pirates to liberate his country from a corrupt government official.
