First of all! HAPPY NEW YEAR! May your 2022 be calm, relaxing, happy, and peaceful!
I’m still alive. Doing much better in terms of my frame of mind than I was at the end of last year. I started painting again - and now I’m writing again too. I’ve got more of the prologue typed up than I expected to at this point but I need to decide if I’m going to do most my writing in the Twine engine itself or bully myself into learning Tweego.
I am, however, back in college. And I will need to look at picking up a part time job very soon and so how much time I have to work on anything has dramatically dropped once again.
A few things on the projects: I’ve decided to postpone working on Oracle for a while. The more I’ve tried to write it the more I’ve realized that I just really don’t like the cop-aspect. So I want to rework it but I’m going to let that percolate in the back of my mind and simmer on the back burner for a while since it completely changes some of the character dynamics that had been planned (and were plot forces) so things need to get reworked there.
In the meantime PK is coming back from the dead - just like her protag.
I’m aiming to get the new prologue published by the end of March. I will probably take down the old version once I get to about the 75% mark on my writing that way anyone new who stumbles across this isn’t looking at old material.
One major note: I’ve decided to rework Eydis almost entirely (again) because the character as she is now just doesn’t click for me. There’s something missing so I’ve decided to scrap her and start from scratch again. The new version will still have connections with the Stone Knights, but rather than being an independent merc will probably be a fully integrated part of the crew. Eydis will also, likely, get a new first name that my dyslexia is a little kinder to because I, without fail, have to double check my notes every single time when I type her first name.
So, if anyone is particularly in love with some aspect of her character let me know - I’m not sure which parts actually resonated with people.
