    Default My Book Blog

    As some may know im working on a sci-fi novel atm, but recently i decided to post it in a web blog so that i could get more feedback on it, plus i've been low on motivation recently so it helps keep me going by regualrly updating the blog. Plus copyright law applies even to blogs os if anyone tries to steal my work i can sue em.

    Here is the blog, and already posted is the opening part of the book.

    No one? Surely there is someone who wants to comment on my writing.

    I've also updated the blog with more of my book.

    Could you give us a summary of what the story is all about.

    No, as you will discover the story as you read through the blog, just like you would with a book.

    No.
    Even books give a brief rundown of the story on the back.
    Just give a brief summary of what the story is about.

    Don't even know what that would be for my book, something like:

    43 years after the Colonial War humanity is becoming a power in the galaxy, and this has not gone unnoticed. The Elmbelkel, the species who rule most of the galaxy put an ultimatum to humanity: become our vassals, or we will destroy you. As the ultimatum is reject by President Rosche, and the navy prepares for a pre-emptive strike, the Elmbelkel launch a devestating surprise attack against the centre of humanity.

    Earth.

    Humanity must stand and fight, or they will lose everything.
    It will probably be different than that as that is the main storyline, but there will likely be mentions of some of the other characters in it as well, as that does not mention the characters you are first introduced to.

    I liked it, the beginning (the interview) put smile on my face. The story is very easy to read and I believe if I would be looking at the book with such beginning and second part of text, I would buy it, seams like it would be interesting story.

    So carry on Lusted

    I liked it in general but there are some things that you need to work on like details and atmosphere especilly the small details, also could you change the name United human Planets sounds corney for some reason.
