Future Story and Ship Design

So, I'm pretty much all in on writing a sci-fi story. Got the main draft done and I'm going through what might be the last edit, though it requires rewriting of segments to make it flow better.
Anyhow, It has what is known as a "hero ship" which while it doesn't really come into play until half-way through the story, I felt that it was important to know what the ship looked like on the inside and outside. So a little over two years ago I began modelling it in Blender and it's evolved a ton over that time. The exterior is pretty much done and textured and every room is there in the interior though only the rooms that can be seen from the outside are textures.

Probably a little overboard but it should also make for a good front cover prop.
Mood = Happy.

One Chapter One Day

Might seem trivial for some but for the first time I wrote a full chapter in a single day. That's around 3500 words! I've never accomplished that before and if I keep this up I'll have finished the first draft of what will hopefully be my next book by the end of the week. Still, there's a long way to go, but I genuinely feel happy about how the story is coming together. There are a few leaps in logic that I need to sort out, but I fixed most of them due to me doing a full chapter by chapter outline.

So there's my advice to anyone who happens to come across this who wants to write. Start with a basic outline, then start going over what you want to happen chapter by chapter. That way you can see what the basic story will be and how it will pan out. From there you can change things before you start writing, even the first chapter so that they work better. Works for me, or rather it seems to.

Feeling happier about things, even if people don't read my stuff on the Kindle.

Of the Future

Sometimes things can feel uncertain. Sometimes one can wonder if there is one at all. All you can do is push on and try to hope for the best, or at least try to make sure that you did your best. There is little else one can do except to lie down and give in.

So keep on pushing.
