Inspiration for the AlitaVerse

Scott Card's "Ender's Game" showed me how to develop my characters, dramatic irony and how to go about effective foreshadowing. I finished Blank before I completely read this book, but these technics will surely be applied in the sequel.

This book should help me with expanding character development just as "Ender's Game" had. However, I admire the differing perspectives represented throughout "The  Speaker for The Dead" and may use the technic in a future book. Although all my books on my "To write" list feature on remain character.  

Pluto's records of either real or imaginary dialogues have helped me generate new ideas for Blank's sequel. The particular dialogue I enjoyed was the "Symposium". 

The telepathic communication between Quinn's main character and the gorilla, Ishmael, the featured teacher. Had to be one of the primary sources of inspiration for my upcoming book "Blank".

I am still reading this book and picked it far after Blank underwent the Publish process but, it's topics of "the science of prayer" and malleable futures intrigue me. These ideas have allowed me to create additions for Blank's sequel. 

I read all six of Springer's "Enola Holmes" books and this mystery series helped me learn how to string events/ "evidence" together to come to a conclusion within my stories. As well as how to record it within my characters thought process.
