Yay, I just finished the second chapter of my #SF novel. Was thinking on it all weekend, wasn’t feeling it this morning, but made myself sit at my desk while I drank my coffee, and I just wrote what could be the first sentence. It wasn’t terrible. Took a few sips of coffee, then wrote a potential second. Another sip, soon I had the first paragraph.
An hour later & hey presto, chapter written 😊
Ok, time to log off and start the day. @bookstodon@amwriting#amwriting@mjjmori
This book has quite a lot of flaws,. To name a few: iffy science, an excess of machismo, simplistic characters and unlikely plot developments.
And yet ...
I couldn't put it down.
McGoings is a talented story weaver and knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat, even though you mutter and complain about the characters, the science and the plot while you're there.
A great read if you want to give your brain a rest.
