Hello Dreamers,
March is going to be a more ambitious month for me, wanting to get lots done. So, here are the projects I plan.
Mini Nanowrimo
I would like to boost my drafting output, so by the end of March, I want to write 25000 words or half the target for NaNoWriMo. These words will be put towards my current WIP, Quantum Songstress.
Summoning the Abyss
Aiming to have the manuscript ready for beta reading within the week. This step has me send it to a bunch of people and get their feedback on what worked and didn't work, and overall get a general sense of how the story is received.
Once that step is completed I will edit based on that feedback, and then start looking for a professional editor to go over the manuscript. This person is meant to make sure the story is the best it can be for the appropriate target audience.
Course, things like cover art and associated art will be crafted. I aim to try to have its hardcover version be better than the one for Champion of Seasons.
Art like this: I know this needs some improvement.
Quantum Songstress
As mentioned I am going to be drafting and drafting and drafting this thing. The target word count is 50000 and I'm at 15000 words. One of the challenges would be showing and not telling as there is a lot that needs explanation. Course, how much I need to explain will be made more apparent when it is table read.
TOTK Dragon Riding Video
The last one is unrelated to writing. Something I wanted to do in Tears of the Kingdom is ride on all the dragons, looking over their flight pattern and gawking at Hyrule down below. I will record this and upload it to YouTube after editing the footage.
At the risk of sounding spoilers, there are 5 dragons in Tears of the Kingdom - the 3 goddess ones from Breath of the Wild and 2 from people dumb enough to eat magic rocks (no, I'm serious - you watch both of them transform and it's horrifying). I think it would be neat to fly through the depths on the 3 returning from Breath of the Wild, the one that never goes in the depths but she's further in the atmosphere, and the last one... well, I'll figure it out when I find him.
Wow you sound busy like where does your dopamine come from your brain but what part of that work ethic triggers the release 🤔 Speaking of riding on dragons I mentioned that my daughter liked that in WOW but there is an RPG called Horizon Zero Dawn which you don't have time for but there is a creature you can ride on and it's an Ariel view 😉 you can see thi gs you did not notice while running around on the ground. I'm glad that your enjoying your process and your ideas are flowing. Having fun is worth it.
