《Building Home》Question for this book
Advertisement
I'd like to thank you all for coming along on this journey with me. I started writing this book because there are not enough Sci-Fi stories in the genre out there. Then I realized that I was doing too much out of game. Book 2 will be more in game, and thre... well, I need to figure that one out as I am doing this all.
This is the first thing i have written in God knows how long. Definitely the first thing I have written in over a decade that isn't shit poetry.
With me hving finished the First book of this series (I'm planning between three and five in total), how would you like me to proceed with the re-writes?
I have seen some authors post the revisions for the chapters after the original drafts, and that appeals to me because there is a draft history there. But...
If I was to just do that then I that would make this book appear a lot longer than it actually is. As my current manuscript stands I am at abou 92k words. Not bad for something I started to write because I was bored.
So my other option is to edit out the existing chapters. If I do that then we would end up with reposts of the chapters having them be completed removed and rewritten.
That appeals to me because then the "length" stays accurate to the work I am doing. Still 40 chapters instead of appearing as 80 chapters.
As you can see, that is a lovely decision to make.
First, I need to get all my punctuation squared away. Then I need to get the wrong words corrected due to fast typing (how many times did I type "thing" instead of "think" for instace?)
Last I need to just clean the crap out of chapter 1 and 2. Maybe some more on 3-15 as well. ugh. So much work for a damned hobby.

I am also planning on, with my next draft, adding a "who's who" of the characters. I already noticed that I changed some peoples names around in the same chapter (oops) because I didn't remember naming them.
As for the other thing, the tables. I am going to go with the blue boxes in my edit that I will be posting. I will be doing this for scaling sake for the mobile users. When necessary I will change the color of the boxes (there's only going to be one or two times when necessary), so finding the right colors to use is paramount.
I also need to come up with a better name than "dragons" for the psychic bastards.

How to Save a Star [BxB]
“Do you know that stars die?” I asked, breaking the silence. I didn't know where the question came from, but that's the only thing that came to mind. “Yeah,” he answered. “And some stars we see in the sky may be already dead. But they're so far away that their afterglow can still be seen above. Some of them may seem glowing but they’re truly dead.” We all have a little gallery of photographic memories inside our hearts. An exhibit of things we could never forget through our short moments in time. Some were so good, we held it like they were the best part of our lives while some were things we desperately ran away from - they hunted us, and killed our hopes. The beginning of my life ended on my tenth birthday, the day when my childhood was stolen away from me. I longed to run away from that nightmare that held me tightly in my neck and made me helpless under its grasp. Going to college had become my final chance to run away. On my seventeenth birthday, after enrolling at a university, my life took another shift. I met a man who showed me the glimmer of hope I always wanted to see. And this was our story. A narration of first love, bittersweet and worthwhile. DISCLAIMER: This novella primarily contains gay romance. Read at your own risk.
