Trying this again

Several years ago I was working on a story.  After hitting a wall creatively and looking at the story for months I deleted it.  Well I am going to try it again, seeing as how several other bloggers have been self publishing and getting their works out.  So I am going to try it again.  There will be several different stories I post but most of what will be posted here will be in relation to my story Journey to Hyperion.  Part One: Road to Hyperion

So any constructive criticism would be appreciated, any attaboys or you suck would also be appreciated.
