There are numerous steps taken for each chapter in a targeted edit, some more general, others specific.

Regardless, there comes that moment when there’s a little twist in my middle. That’s the point when I realize that, yes, the chapter has taken that crucial step and will come together.

Oh how rewarding that is, another miniature milestone to serve as motivation.

Be everwell.

I realize that if I were a director, developing a story would be like seeing the script, and drafting like witnessing the play performed.

For some reason, I’ve always struggled to describe that, but it suddenly struck me, an insight as mysterious as story.

There’s a huge difference between dialogue on a page with stage direction, and a set with actors performing.

Be everwell.

So many years and decisions since my “modern era” began in 2015. I stand by each one of them.

For instance, I considered capping Kovenlore’s length at 5 books, but also 9, or open-ended rather than 7. I literally debated that for years.

In fact, some of the foreshadowing for books that didn’t happen remains in the series through Book-5. After that, I knew it was ending.

Be everwell.
