Hello! I started this account as a home for my fantasy series, worldbuilding, future website updates, and the long road towards publishing.
I will share more when I have more to share!
@DarranSF It depends on the characters themselves. Having a character that never swears, and chides others for doing so, use an expletive can show how significantly the scene or situation impacts the characters.
Unfortunately, it is way too long for traditional publication (but I’m not planning on doing traditional publication for various personal reasons), hence my 4th draft/edit. It is just shy of 172k words.
For every word I delete, I end up adding 2-3. Even when I delete whole chapters.
@LilyLopez2415@CaptDiablo Thank you! Their personalities are exactly opposite of how they dress. Ishá’s is dark and moody, whereas Valin is cheerful and upbeat. At least on the outside. That was done specifically.
@KWBussard_ I’ve done detailed research for my queries. Even got a few interested agents who didn’t reject me out of hand. Then the bad experiences piled up. Likely the agents themselves, but a few bad apples will spoil the lot. 🤷🏼♂️ I’ll be self-publishing.
