Completed my second arc tonight, and already 10% into my third. Roughly 19k words left on the body of the work, meaning I'm well into the final stretch. I'm happy with how the second arc turned out, but I'm glad I'm done with it -- there are two characters in the arc, and both of them are really tough to write for different reasons.
One thing that this past arc is a reaction to is a "Short Trek" episode I watched with my mom (who has always loved Star Trek) and it was about how religion is evil and if only you got rid of its evil and regressive influence you could be a starfleet super hero. I really hated that story, because it felt like it was about 70 years too late to even mean anything, and possibly 170 years too late to really be cutting edge. It's a story that the person who wrote that episode probably saw on TV as a kid and it was already outdated then.
For all I know I'm doing a shite job myself, but at least I'm *trying* to say something unique.
