The 10,000 Foot View-
Why I write? Misguided Adventures: The Quest for Earth began with this very question. I was speaking with a friend and had expressed my intent to write a book. Their first question was "why"? The question surprised me because I wasn’t expecting it. In my mind, I had already planned the story out and was ready to go. I was mainly letting my friend know so they could tell me what a great idea it was. Instead of why, I was expecting "about what"? Regardless, the question was valid. I don’t recall how I replied, but I do know why I write. I write because I love stories - including those told in bars by friends exaggerating their life experiences.
More to come here...but I’ll leave with you with some feedback I have received so far.

"Misguided Adventures: The Quest for Earth by @Seth Greenberg (2 Readers/Last T.S.S.F.’s Rank: N/A)
Kicking things off is the Misguided Adventures: The Quest for Earth by Seth Greenberg. Mr. Greenber is a hard-working family man who writes in his "spare time" (loved the quotes in his bio!) - the Misguided Adventures his own way of delving into his imagination. The entire vibe I get from the description at the top immediately connected me to Ender’s Game which is one of my favorite books of all time. Though there is no description in the About section yet, Mr. Greenberg has uploaded the first chapter and it is definitely a gripping one. We’re immediately introduced to Captain Ethan Nova, captain of "The Goodnight" (love the ship name too!) and his artificial intelligence in the shape of a holographic woman named Polly. Their relationship reminds me of Captain Hunter and Gideon from Legends of Tomorrow and it’s playful and fun from the moment the chapter begins. Reading on, I found this to be more like Firefly than Ender’s Game and I was totally OK with that!
I highly recommend reading the first chapter, it was a blast to read and Mr. Greenberg delivers on outstanding visuals, overall descriptions, and amazing dialogue. Looking forward to the next chapter!
