If you sometimes
find yourself struggling to write, you might diagnose yourself as
having "writer's block." I believe that writer's block
stems from the expectations we place on ourselves. If you're trying
to start a story and just can't find the right beginning, try this:
instead of trying to write the perfect opening, assume that you'll
come back and rewrite it later, and just start typing away. Aim
towards the part you know you want to write--the part you're excited
to write. Along the way, you may find that your pathway to that
moment actually generates more ideas that you can use. The point is,
get moving. Don't stress about finding the perfect words for the
perfect opening sentence. Just write it, move on, and remember that
you can always come back later, probably with more momentum and
inspiration, to fix that rough beginning.
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
