A few years ago I started a book about a lost intertstellar warship that ended up being damaged and forced to land and repair on an alien world.
I shelved the project all those years ago because I was missing something in the process. Just a few months ago inspiration hit and I rewrote the captian and drastically reduced the number of background characters. I took some dietary science and had some fun with anxious 'modern' people being dumped into a primordial environment that shakes off the burdens of morality.
Jayna captains the ship of fools & exiled embarassments on collective time-out from the fleet. They annoy the fuck out of her, and all have traits that annoy the fuck out of her, though Jayna is no paragon of virtue and found her way to command because he own repressed issues. I forgot to mention that she is a high level judo and mma fighter, with tits the size of a man's head.
I'm having entirely too much fun writing this book! I'm breaking societal expectations and reaching back into our tribal past. I wrote about half of the end the other day and reintroducing our primal's into 'modern' society is proving interesting.
Hopefully I will finish it soon. I haven't decided on a cover or publishing method, though I have an idea or two.
We'll see how it goes. :)
