Part 7 Surprises in writing a science fiction thriller

A surprise developed earlier this week that couldn’t be held back anymore.

The chest burster … uh … burst out!

My research into the details of a plot line has now expanded into an entirely new novel idea, PERSIA AWAKENING, a military fiction thriller.

I say expanded because several military stuffs are part of the science fiction thriller, but that plot line and those plot devices have developed a life of their own.

Now several of my supporting characters have become main characters in the new series.

The toughest part is keeping the timing right between the two series.

Guess I’ll just have to work it out. 😉

Part 6 Surprises in writing a science fiction thriller

I’ve been procrastinating.

Primarily because of Part 1, my first surprise in writing a science fiction thriller novel, Emotions.

Weird huh?

I know that the part I’m going to write is going to go deep into emotion, that’s the point of that particular plotline.

I’m concerned about how I’ll feel about it 😆

But it has to get done. This weekend baby 😀

Part 5. Surprises in writing a science fiction novel.

How far will your character go?

I discovered that making that determination was quite simple, even before writing out the character’s backstory and resume.

I just knew how far they would go in X situation.

I wasn’t expecting to know, that’s the surprise.

Writing out their backstory and their experiences and such was just filler for details, important but not critically defining in how far the character will go.

Do you know beforehand?

Do you relish the process of finding out?
