I’m currently trying to outline a Space Opera novel. This will be my 5th book; my other 4 were learning experiences, so I’ll likely start over with a new pen name.

    Gotcha. I had an image in mind of a fantasy society trying to replace their monarchy with a socialist system of governance, but your idea sounds interesting, too.

          I’ve written an entire book, but I’m not happy with some of the structure and am redoing a few big chunks. It’s meant to be a trilogy, and as I get into book two I’m a bit hampered by the things I’m not happy with in book 1.
