Long answer...I have portions of the general storyline for the series worked out, but when I write an episode I have to connect points F to G, and G to H, etc. I do a lot of the detail work right then, and if I'm not in the best mindset and I try to knock off a chapter by the end of the day, the storytelling suffers. I can fix some of it during editing, but I learned a long time ago not to force it and work on a flexible schedule. Just like today, I woke up with the story running through my head and finished it off with several new kinks that I hadn't planned on.
As for why writing Star Force? I wrote a novel called "Apex" and tried to get it published and failed miserably. No agent or publisher would take a look at it. I discovered Amazon's indie publishing program, but didn't want to risk my novel on it so I reimagined an old idea I had as an experiment, which was Star Force. The amazon program is legit, I found out, and I'm growing a reader base there with decent sales...besides which I like writing episodes over novels. I can get them published faster and keep with the TV series motif.
As for making money off of ROTA...without permission from MGM, that is a no go. Made a few inquires about getting that a while back and got no response...big shock there.
