Introduction

To write a good, interesting book, with depth, it is recommended to imagine the various plots even before writing the first line, without going into details.

A writer who fantasizes about writing a book imagines the plots he will incorporate in his unique writing, the beginning (and not always the end) of the story. While writing, he can create a plot twist without having planned the change in advance. A writer who writes a story by himself is supposed to be independent in his decisions regarding the development of the plot even though sometimes the characters and events can influence the writing and the contents of the story.

​

The writing experience is much more challenging when several authors write one book. In this case, coordination between the different writers is required and therefore, the complexity of the writing becomes much more challenging.

​

The development of a plot that is written by several writers depends on the reactions of the other writers to unexpected events and therefore a high level of uncertainty develops regarding the next steps in the story, similar to the development of reality in real life.

The behavior of a character in a story (avatar) depends, first and foremost, on the characteristics of the avatar that the author leads (watch the video that describes how to define a character in a story). On the other hand, the behavior of an avatar may or may be affected by the behavior of other avatars (as in real life), and therefore the end of the story is not known in advance - even when the purpose of writing the story is defined in advance.

 

Methodology of writing the story

The editor-in-chief (Chibi) writes the first chapter and publishes it on the website;

Writers send their questions and responses to the content to the editor-in-chief only via WhatsApp;

Based on the writers' responses, the editor-in-chief modifies the first chapter and incorporates the various avatars into the plot;

The editor-in-chief does not change the writers' writing style (except for spelling errors or gross, unintentional language errors);

Linguistic mistakes that should not be included in the book are explained in the language section. The contents of the corner of the tongue are updated from time to time.

The editor-in-chief does not change the writers' content except in the case of immoral, illegal or offensive content. In these cases, the editor-in-chief does not publish the writer's words but sends his response and position discreetly to the writer and asks to make changes, accordingly;

In this way, the writing of the story is indeed slower, but allows the integration of additional layers to the story. There is no pressure and you can always change... unlike in a conversation in meetings in the tangible world...

In this way, we do not immediately react to the other's words and there is time to consider things so that not only emotion guides us in our reactions but also thinking about the power of the words and the impact on the temptations of the plot and on the soul of the other (or the other).

Preparations for writing

Step 1: Characterization of the purpose of the book

In the case of the Apophis project, the goal is to establish a startup company in the real world. At this stage, it is not clear which flagship project will be chosen and what will be the nature of the startup company.

​

Step 2: the background for writing the book;

The damages that may be caused to humanity following an asteroid impact on the Earth, raise questions regarding the preparation for a fatal impact of an asteroid on the Earth and raise the need to prepare for a monstrous natural disaster whose results will not necessarily be immediate.

 

Step 3: Description of the period (or periods) during which the plots of the story took place;

The story begins in 2029 when news is published on social media regarding the asteroid Apophis. The plot is based on real data published by NASA and other space agencies in the world. The plot begins in March 2029 and ends somewhere in 2037.

 

Step 4: characterizing the characters (avatars) in the story;

The characterization of the characters is determined through an in-depth interview (investigation) conducted by each author with his avatar. The in-depth interview was conducted on the basis of a prepared questionnaire which includes dozens of questions to get to know the imaginary character. Watch the video that explains the nature of the structured questionnaire.

 

Step 5: Designing the human environment;

The human environment that is revealed and develops as the story progresses, includes the Israeli mosaic, as it manifests itself in real life here in the Middle East. The avatars will be young and old, new immigrants from around the world and natives of the country, scientists from NASA and blue-collar workers from industry and agriculture in Israel, investors from Israel and the world who are interested in the startup nation that went through many crises before focusing on the Apophis project - a name determined by journalists around the world. There will be collaborations with academics from the Ben Gurion University of the Negev, with workers at the Volcanic Institute, and with professionals who will be required to help establish the first facilities near the Bedouin city of Rahat in the Negev. During the plot he meets with people who will influence the success of the project such as Qatar (which previously financed the terrorism of Hamas), Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Morocco, the United States, Russia, China, and even Iran and North Korea. All of them finally understood the common danger and the need for cooperation.

​

Step 6: Designing the physical environment;

The plot will take place in nature, in classrooms, in laboratories, in Zoom conversations and in outer space.

​

Step 7: designing main milestones in the plot;

Young people, in the introductory chapter, discuss natural disasters that could destroy humanity. During the stormy conversations, they study the subject, meet with various professionals in Israel and around the world and gradually formulate a decision to establish a start-up company whose goal is to implement a variety of complementary solutions to the sub-problems that may harm all of humanity, following an asteroid impact.

During the collaborations, it turned out that terrorism is gradually disappearing around the world and everyone is busy with the common challenge that leads to well-being for everyone.

Towards 2036, it became clear to many in the world, those who are not in the details, that Apophis will not harm the Earth and therefore, in their opinion, it is unnecessary to deal with these issues. In April 2037 there was a major terrorist event in the Land of Israel which set humanity back decades.

The final chapter is not part of a story but an analysis of the effect of defining common goals and a common enemy on the quality of life, wealth and happiness in the world.
