I am almost finished the first draft of the first book of my science fiction series.  I originally called it my trilogy, but I don't want to limit myself.  I may find that I can continue the story past the three books.  I, at least, should have three books published sometime in the future.  Though I am currently editing my first book, I am writing on my second book a little at a time so I can make the transition of book one to book two seamlessly.

I have so many books planned in my head.  I wish that I could put them on paper a lot quicker, but unfortunately, I can't write as fast as some writers.  I do put a lot of work in them, going over them several times to make sure that the characters appear as real as possible and that the storyline, though fictional, will seem believable.

I've always considered characters in story the greatest part of it.  Though the plot is instrumental the characters can make it a good or bad story.  I learned this a long ago from Stephen King's book THE STAND.  The plot was good but similar stories had been done before.  The characters are what brought to life.
