Speaking of new books...I've started a new book, promises to be much better than my previous work. Began back in August, already on Chapter 5...so, making progress in spite of schoolwork. It's gonna be good.

I'm back working on ZAQ-1. Ironically, in spite of my earlier philosophy of making up the story as I go along, I've taken to planning ahead. I now have an entire chapter, entitled "Quid Pro Quo", which deals with the Imperator's invasion of the Terran system.
I've already planned it out: They're going to split up, and attack Mars, Earth, and Venus. (which, at this stage in time, will be near each other in a triangular formation on the same side of the Sun). I have an outline below, adapted from an e-mail: Quote:

I don't like some of the supplemental stories I wrote for ZAQ-1, including but not limited to "The Coperniciuss Treaty", which in itself ought to be a book.

Wow. So impressed with everyone. We are all hard workers!
Still trawling away at my novel. 16 chapters in and almost 80,000 worlds later...still 4 chapters to go. But it will end! Yay! I can see it! The hardest thing I'm finding is not getting distracted by new ideas!

I have decided to gather all my short stories, edit them, and publish them. There are nine stories in all, so I'll be working on it for a little while.

Are they fantasy stories in a world of your own creating, or fanfiction, or other? Quote:
And by the way, even if your other ideas weren't so good as you want, I'd advise you to keep them. It can be really fun a few years later to look back and enjoy your earlier writing, and see how far you've come. Curubethion, what's your new book about? Quote:

A lot of snowy action, and plenty of characters. I'm really pumped about the characters in this one...there's a whole lot more dialogue in this one, and I made them more believeable. I even took the liberty of modeling one character's personality on that of my friend. Fun stuff.
