And so it begins…
The Delta Flyer came to a stop on the outer edge of the asteroid field that was just beyond Mars. Inside it, Jim Hawkins was checking the sensors at the same time. He also checked for subspace distortions, which were usually indicative of cloaked ships. There weren’t any though, so his reason for being there hadn’t arrived. Or their cloak, if there was a ship in the area, was better than his sensors could detect. This wouldn’t have been surprising to him, considering that the person he was there to meet was a covert ops agent.
Jim knew why he’d been chosen for this ‘cloak and dagger’ mission. With extensive past experience in Intelligence and covert operations, this made him the ideal choice for this task. It was ordinary for him now, but he’d come to accept it. Every now and again, they would make use of his experience to carry out one objective or another. He smiled to himself, thinking back. Once you’re in Intelligence, you’re never out of it.

I’ve talked about RSS before here and here, but there might still be a bit of confusion about its value to you. I’m hoping this definitive guide will help end the confusion.
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. A definition of ’syndication’ is: Selling (an article or cartoon) for publication in many magazines or newspapers at the same time. However, in this case it’s not actually selling anything. It’s providing information instead, for free. RSS provides you with the information of your choice, all at the same time, from multiple websites. Whenever they update their sites, that update is delivered to you by RSS.

I know there are a few writers who read this blog. I would appreciate any feedback you might have about the style of writing I have, in relation the Star Trek story I’m currently writing. If you think it’s good, if you think it needs improvement, how you think it could be improved, etc. I’m just talking about my ability to write, rather than on the story itself. 
I’d be very happy for your feedback that I’ll use to help me write better. Many thanks!
