My Fifth First Book

A Test of Honor is not the first book I’ve ever tried to write. In fact, it’s at least the fifth. Usually when I write a book, I get to about the third chapter and then it all falls apart. Suddenly I hate the characters, the story seems stupid, the dialogue nonsensical, and the point strangely missing. I freak out, tell myself I’ll come back to it later, and then leave it forever in my Documents folder to gather digital dust for all eternity.
