Writing Inspiration and Goals for 2016

(Concept art from NASA's website. link is at the bottom of this post!)

I've been thinking lately about Kepler-186f, one of the more newly discovered planets out there in a galaxy far, far away, which is comparable to Earth! It is the outermost planet in a solar system of five planets and quite possibly could sustain life!!! Wee!! Anyway in July 2015 I heard about this beautiful discovery and started planning to write a story which involves Kepler-186f (I call it Kep for short!) 

So far in my process of writing I have, what I've been referring to as the Kepler Novella, 32,000+ words. The story is a YA dystopian//sci-fi deal and it needs a lot of work but I'm also fairly happy with where it is going. My goal for this year is to finish this project completely, editing and such and possibly expanding it into a novel. I've never totally finished a manuscript and I just know I can and need to and this one may be THE ONE! Who knows?!

But without giving too much away just yet it is about six convicts who are exiled to Kepler-186f as capital punishment for their crimes.

Today I made a little playlist of songs that fit certain scenes or just have a good vibe for the story, feel free to look them up and give them a listen!!

Seera’s Song (Written by me, so ya can't listen because it's not an audible thing.)

All my sister's

With all their bright lights

All my sister's

They're shining so bright

All my sister's

With all their brown eyes

The space ship takes flight

Away into the night

We're on our way now

We're on our way now

My head is on your shoulder

We're growing much older

And when we get there I'll be 23

All my sister's

With all their bright lights

All my sister's

They're shining so bright

All my sister's

With all their brown eyes

we will reunite.

Lorde- A World Alone
