Understandable. :)  Well, you do what you're going to do.  It's your time and inspiration.  I just wanted to let you know that what you wrote is really good.  And yeah, I write some too and have never done a scifi novel either.  So I completely understand.  Everyone has their own style.  Just keep it up.  You have a real talent. :D

Well thank you.  I do love my writing, and I have been turning the idea over in my head.  The problem is I've got four novel projects going on right now and I really need to revisit a fifth I finished years ago.  One of these days I need to try for publication for reelz instead of the self-published one I've got so I can quit my day-job and just write all the time.

Yeah, I feel you.  I've got so many stories in my head that it's sometimes hard to just focus on one or two.  The burden of a writer i suppose.  Right now I've narrowed it down to one written book and one graphic novel project with another stored away for later.  :P Yep, hard to decide which ones to do.  And yeah, I think you should try to get a publishing company to publish your writing.  You've got what it takes and totally have imagination.  Just make sure you get one of those contracts that pays you as long as you're working on a book and not one of those when they give you one big lump some (because then you have to keep working even if your lump of cash runs out).  Royalties would be a good thing to ask for too.  I've never published anything, but my cousin is a published author and the lump some thing is something that he warned me against.  You should give it a go.

Well, the nice thing is that I've got a good job that I enjoy, so I'm not doing this for the money.  If a publisher tries to give me a bad deal I can just refuse it without being terribly hurt.

That's always a good thing. ^^ No pressure makes for better decisions. :)
