Thanks so much, @jedau! Since you've actually published your fiction, I greatly appreciate your opinion. Great feedback. Looking at it now, I realized it was kind of a mashup between a book jacket cover explanation, a prologue, a first chapter, and a prototype pilot to sell the whole story. Clearly trying to do too much at once.

It's an interesting process to put yourself out there and try something new. I generally like to be pretty good at the things I do because it strokes my ego and keeps my insecurities at bay. Doing something like this with a high probability of failure or wasted time is good for me. Now to see if I stick with it or not. I'm certainly going to try, but I'm not going to put a timeline on it in order to keep it fun and feeling less like an obligation. :)
