Santi-U

Ok....so here it starts.  I'm absolutely crazy.  I am going to attempt...attempt to write and post a new chapter of one of my w.i.p. stories each day.  This is going to be really hard.  50000 words in a month was freaking hard for nanowrimo...and now I want to write a chapter every day.

I know why I want to do this, I just don't know if I can.  I have a serious issue with following through on long-term goals.  I usually end of forgetting, or my priorities shift, or I just plain get lazy.  But this is something I want to work on, and this is how I've decided to go about it.  But seriously?  And entire chapter a day?


Yeah.

I give myself two weeks...tops.  Let the challenge begin.

Below is Chapter One of a story I have tentatively titled "Sentinel".  It's basically about a guy stuck as the brain/main computer of a large ship.  The concept isn't new, and was greatly inspired by Anne McAffrey's Ship Who Sang series of books, although I read these a long time ago, and am not too familiar with them anymore.  I do remember them fondly though and I heartily recommend them to any fan of fantasy/sci-fi...actually...she's a must-read author...look her up, pick a book, any book.

So we'll start with this.  If I manage to complete this project, I have about twenty other stories that could use re-writes or just get plain finished.  Please let me complete one!
