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.

    There’s an element of that to it. The overarching villain represents a hostile monopolistic corpo in the analogy, and a continent-spanning emperor in the text, and “socialism” is going to be needed to defeat him.

      How far along are you? In the concept development stage? I’m working on the individual stories that are making up my current project, and it’s not easy. Was struggling with burnout for a few months and am now trying to get back into it.

        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.
