This weekend I started writing my fourth novel. It is the prequel to Starstrikers and it will be called Starforgers. This novel was attempted many years ago and then abandoned. I used the opening that I already had written when I began my outline for the novel last month. But in the weeks since that outline was created, I changed my mind and started over. You can do that you know. No questions asked.
The first chapter now works harder at telling the story I need to tell than the old one did. We are introduced to the hero and we see her doing her job and suffering with memories of an event that will alter her future by causing her to become involved in the events that started the Great War. In the second chapter, she meets the villain and although she is unaware of it, they will meet again in the big finale.
Hopefully this Labor Day weekend I will get a chance to crank through Chapter 1 and 2. Most of Chapter 2 is already mapped, so the writing should go quickly.
Thanks Steve! Oh and just to clarify, the hero meets the villain and is unaware that he is the leader of the bad guys, until they meet again in the big finale.
Good luck with this one, Ken.
