I thought I'd offer a few thoughts on what I've written so far. I had a really hard time getting the ball rolling on this. It took me a good while to finish the first chapter, and then I spent another long while revising it. I feel like my discussions of technology are a bit long and cumbersome, and almost out of place, as if I were trying too hard to impress my audience, which is rather small at this point.
I'm getting a better handle on the story line, and I feel like I'm finally finding some direction. I know some authors try to outline their novels before writing them, or write pieces and then go back and elaborate-- I have simply been adding to the story line as I see fit. I'm letting the story tell itself through my fingers. I haven't set myself a schedule, and I think about what to write next until something feels right. That's primarily why I have not yet started writing chapter 4. I've been considering elongating Chapter 3, though. I feel like that part of the story isn't quite done yet.
Does anybody have any suggestions to make the story better?
