Hello again! It's been a while since I did an update on how things are going... 😅
As for novel #1, I finally finished the big emotional climax of the story. Six months of work for 3 large chapters, with many suggestions from my editor that have made it really spectacular. Next is wrapping up loose ends, the final fight, and cleaning up the mess of a war-torn world. Maybe 5-7 chapters in total. Hopefully draft 1 will be done in under a year...
Here on FA I've adopted over 100 characters 😵 in the past ten months... Not everyone has a name, but most of the roles have been figured out. Even though only 6-8 will make it into the very end of novel #1 working with these characters has given me a better view of the overall world they inhabit. Once draft #1 is finished I now have a list of changes that will make it fit better with the sequels! (Tolkien revised later editions of "The Hobbit" after writing LOTR because some things didn't work, like the Bilbo / Gollum ring scene. Wikipedia it.)
Also, I'm thinking about making a second account once the publishing process begins. I'll keep this one for doing favorites and commissioning artists, but the second would be where I post my adopted characters that appear in the novels under my pen name.
