Zephrym has only twenty minutes to live before his proverbial clock stops ticking. In these twenty minutes he puts together a story composed of journal entries, letters, and recollections of his life, to be given to his unborn child. Ilia, the love of his life, and the mother of his child is in suspended animation in hopes to survive a massive power loss in the far reaches of space. Will Zephrym survive to see his child come into this world? Is there enough power in the ship to sustain Ilia's cryogenic sleep?

Progress, Progress, Progress

Well From Zephrym to Ilia is coming along, I have been procrastinating too much lately and am only about 800 words into the fourth chapter after about a month after I finished Chapter 3.
I have been finding it harder to work on the actual story rather than the characters in the story, but I think the characters deserve more work because those are ultimately the story, would you out there agree?

Anyway I started writing my book with Pages on my MacBook Pro a little more than 4 or 5 months ago and recently switched over to a new program called Scrivener by Literature and Latte. For any of those looking to write any type of literary work I would highly recommend this program and just head over to the link to see for yourself.

Excerpt from Chapter 4 : Wishes To a Distant Star



Zephrym made his way slowly but surely back to the cryo-tube that housed Ilia and her precious cargo. 
His legs gave way just as he reached out to her, falling forward his frame hugged the glass wall of the chamber.
“We had a good run, didn’t we?” Zephrym posed the question to the lifeless statue in front of him.
There was no audible response but Zephrym had heard it anyway.
“The best.”
