Hey all,
This one came out a little sooner than expected. I've been trudging through the editing process for a horror novel I have coming out in November and assumed it would stall Sunrunner somewhat. That hasn't been the case for the last few weeks, as spare time keeps randomly popping up.
I find action easy to write in most cases. What a character does physically is more simple to extrapolate than their internal motivations or their interactions with other characters. We'll be seeing more action soon, so I hope the chapters keep rolling out!
Edit: Special thanks to a reader for pointing out a typo in chapter nine. Odybrix'dialogue has peppered my auto-correct with expletives.
K.P.
Hey all,
This one took a little longer than usual due to a job interview, party planning, and sick children, but I'm pleased with it.
Downtime for characters is my favourite space to develop them. You get to see different aspects of characters in their normal day-to-day interactions that aren't coloured by intense conflict. BOB, ZT, and Buddy get a little time to shine in this respect.
Not to worry though, lasers and explosions will resume shortly.
Hope you enjoy chapter eight!
Chapter seven has been released from its cage and is already prowling the internet. I had a lot of fun with this chapter. Often, there are points in a chapter when I need to stop writing and do something else: work, walk, chores, whatever. The mental block requires time to clear. Then there are chapters like this that gush onto the pages.
Sunrunner covers several genres, so it's important to hit the notes of science fiction, fantasy, and horror frequently. That said, the story is ultimately driven by the characters. They need to experience the world on behalf of the reader. So when they have been through hell, I need to demonstrate that trauma. Preferably in a way that hits one or more of the aforementioned genre notes. Chapter seven is an attempt to hammer on the horror.
I hope you enjoy the multiple perspectives in this story. They were all fun to write. We finally get a Jim section too! All that leaves is Sturdy. We'll get to him soon.
P.S. Do any site aficionados know how to keep a scene break past the "Click to load text" button? The scene break line between Jim and Odybrix doesn't show up.
Hey all!
I offer a warm welcome to my blog. I thought I would give you a little background on the Sunrunner story that went up on June 30th.
Sunrunner was originally designed as a homebrew D&D campaign for a few close friends. My playgroup was supportive about taking a break from high fantasy and trying something new. The support quickly morphed into enthusiasm when they started dipping their toes into the uncharted waters. I found that enthusiasm quite infectious.
The more the universe and its history were developed, the more I wanted to dive in and tell a story about it. I started writing about the universe and the adventure with the goal of telling an engaging story while fleshing out the cultures and history of the galaxy. Hopefully the story is on its way to accomplishing that.
The plan is to update the story every few weeks, work and family permitting. Thank you all for reading!
