I think a minor character is taking over my book....and I am ok with this?

( Amari needs to wake up though. Her parts are getting dull. )

Next part.  It comes directly after the last thing I posted, and it has Ten the doctor!  ahem. sorry.  What can I say?  I have a thing for doctors...

( In which Genric is still interacting with people and Ten is lovable...in that gruff way )

 This starts with Kai running up shouting.  There is probably a bit of scene before it but it is not dramatic and therefore not yet written.

If you were wondering this is when the PLOT of the book actually starts.

...I am not sure what the actual procedure for what to do when you find a half dead person on the beach is but I am pretty sure that ( Read more... )

Sorry for any errors.  The spell ( Read more... )

I am working on changing Amari from a 17 year old sailor girl into...something else.    This is a bit of writing, unpolished, exploring an alternate version of the character.  This is not about her on the ship or after the wreck it is a tenative bit of exposition.... Let me know what you think?
( This version is a grownup! )

The first section from Kai's point of view.   I am going with the Nano strategy on this one with writing and not looking back, so it's not ready for advanced stylistic critique.  It IS ready for setting, character and plot opinions and suggestions.

 Well at least I am keeping one resolution today...kind of.  Here is the first scene of version 3.0 of the shipwreck story.
