So! What has been going on?
Draft 2 has been serving it’s purpose. As I moved from draft 1, two story arcs were removed from the plotline, and two… three chapters were scrapped entirely. With that the outline of ”book 2” is done, a three arc story. Hopefully we will all feel that book 2 has a better narrative and compact story. With only 3 chapters left to write it is progressing smoothly yet slowly.
Did a research trip for inspiration. Needed to nail the atmosphere for a city featured in ”book 2”, I am sure it will be beneficial.
Artwork has been decided on and work will commence on those once draft 2 is done. Once again there will be focus on ”dark and gritty” as to fit the narrative… To be honest at this point I don’t see that changing, for any book up and to book 4 atleast.
Speaking of book 4. As it stands, work has been done on book 3-4, with book 3’s outline completed. So there will be a series of books before long.
