[stylist] My Current writing

[Bill Outman]

That's more or less what I'm planning.  Yes it's fictional in that it takes
place around 2020 for the launch of the European major leagues.  It is
historically rooted however in that will discusses some actual history and
develops from the French commissioner's having taken an interest in baseball
while here in North America in the '70's and '80's before developing otherr
business interests after going back to his native land.  

It works out that this commissioner is about my age, I'll be 46 in December
and I have him born a few weeks after me.  This allows me to partially build
him through reflections on my own thoughts, feelings and attitudes as they
are with some conjecture on how they might have been in different
circumstances.  

So creative non-fiction/historical novel is probably the correct genre
categorization.

Bill,
 
Your baseball book sounds interesting.  Will it be fiction then?  I
gather since you want to create a Braille descendent that it will be
fiction, but have you considered incorporating non-fiction with
fictional elements and make it creative non-fiction?  Just a thought,
and you could still use fictional characters.  Nonetheless, it sounds
interesting.
 
Good luck.
 
Robert,
 
I think it is perfect to develop a curriculum, of sorts, for Chapters
and groups to use as a guide for discussions.  Even Federation veterans
can use assistance when attempting to lead a planned discussion.  It is
always nice to have a source to reference.
 
It also helps provide a written understanding of our philosophy which
helps to set a standard across the board.  It's kind of like trying
teach math with all different kinds of perspectives.  I'm all for
creativity and thinking outside the box, but some things require a
uniformity so we don't break into different factions.  Hmm... much like
the Church.
 
Bridgit
