| Re: what are good books to read
Yeah, I think you were getting your basic terminology mixed up. One or more planets revolve around a star, making a system, and many such systems make a galaxy.
The only books I've read in such a setting really are the Star Wars books, so you might want to read some of those. I'd suggest you don't steal too many terms from there, though, as they are in general quite setting-specific (hyperspace, Rebellion, Empire, and so on), and readers may be turned off just another Star Wars rip-off. Originality will pay off. I really do think you need to get in a read a whole lot of stuff if you are serious about writing. There really is no other way to learn than reading a lot and writing a lot. Good luck, anyway. |
