Hello,
I am now writing daily, feels great my book is taking shape. The idea? A crew of a ship (sci-fi) find something nasty ins space (easy ).
The captain was going to be the main character, but now I’m not so sure. He is so distant and his purpose is to be the authority on the ship and make hard choices. Plus sticking to gender stereotypes of a man being in charge of a ship in the future does not seem right to me but the character fits his place.
My question is could the crew of a ship be the main character, who struggle to survive against all odds while dealing with their own problems. Would the reader root for them and see the ships success as it’s crew’s success or does one personality need to stand out somwhat? People do not always have a good streak and situations can always change people’s approach. This said even the worst villain can do something good.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Best, Andy
