To anyone who sees this I am a newbie science fiction author writing a hard science fiction book called The Settlers of Tau Ceti . I would really appreciate some tips or constructive criticism from more experience writers as I am only 13 and am finding writing a little intimidating but still want to pursue it as a hobby, thanks in advance.
