Finding Dmitri

Yes! I finally finished another snippet! The only thing about it is that it would only show up in my book as a flash back, if it did at all.

It's a little story from when Jayden and Scarlett were only a duo and hadn't met anyone else on the crew, but it is significant because it is how Scarlett came by her special wormhole drive. She also meets Dmitri, as you can see by the title of this post and the snippet. He's a pretty cool dude, even if I can't write his lines very well. They're supposed to sound like broken English since Scarlett chose a weird filter for her translation program and it sounds like a stereotypical Russian accent. That's right, I worked in accents, haha.

I liked writing this story because it helped me come up with questions to make the universe a little more real, like what would movement on the ships be like, how are the ships laid out, how do their PCs interact with the world around them, and most importantly, how my characters think, speak, and act.

I hope it makes sense and sounds good, but it's a first draft. I already had to go back through it when I was almost done because I realized I was writing like the ship would have gravity on it. Just had to rewrite a few sentences so it made more sense and stayed consistent. It was actually more fun to write like that because I really had to think about how that would change everything in the scene. Space is really cool.
