I’m trying to get my first novel off the ground like thousands of us are. I love both reading and studying movies for their characters, especially the villains, which I believe can make or break a great story. My story’s complete (for the nth time, I’ve lost count of how many rewrites I’ve done since I was 12 years old). Don’t ask me where I get my ideas from, they pop up in some of the weirdest places. My goal is to develop Pandora’s Succession, my novel, into a series. My dream is to write a screenplay one day for either Superman or X-Files movies, but I’ll just settle for getting my first book published for the time being.

What if it remained dormant in the polar ice caps only to be accidentally unearthed by research scientists, triggering an outbreak? What if samples of this microbe were to fall into the possession of Arms Dealers who plan to weaponize it and market it to terrorist groups bent on attacking America? These are questions that CIA agents Ridley Fox and Doctor Nita Colvin must resolve in my nove...

Hi there, Jodie. It's been a while. This story has potential. What I didn't enjoy were the grammatical errors and a few other details that will work against you if you were to present this to an agent/publisher. Here's what I found and some of the suggestions I'd look into. Once you get the idea, it should be easier for you to spot the others. First of all, what I noticed from reading many Vince Flynn novels, who uses a lot of military jargon, it's helpful for the reader to always write down ...
This quote speaks for all of us writers. The only thing I could suggest is that you add a question mark after escape and hyphen Ink-ladened (which should still be two words. My favorite escape? Ink-ladened creativity.
