C.J.NAYLOR - War of the Timekeepers

I am finally writing my very first book. Overtime, I would love people to follow my journey as they themselves, could be interweaved with Freya's story.

Just hit 62500 words. Securely into the final part of the first book and I am feeling reflective. I will take it through drafts and revisions, but I think its helped that I've edited as I went along.

The stress of finding an agent is my next step, but I am excited :)

50,000 words. This is a big milestone for me. I've wrote dissertations, essays, exams - but nothing of this magnitude. I am so proud of myself for persevering. Over the past 9 months. Only 25000 words to go (roughly).

Its been since November! I am a complete slack clearly. I have nearly reached the 50000 word milestone. I am 2/3rds through my book and its all coming together. Every word, line are written, read, re-written and revised again for good measure. I want it sound great. I am excited.

Clearly I am no good at updating my profile - I have passed chapter one and Freya has met others in the world. She is a very confused character - she is learning as she goes along. I am happy with how its sounding :)

Been a long time since I updated - I am nearing the end of chapter 1. The main character is coming together nicely, she is discovering her world. When I read it back, it makes me want to read it which is making me excited to keep going :)

Just passed the thousand word mark. Freya has begun her story, alone and isolated - not knowing where she is or who she is. Only that she is very much alone. And although it is extremely early into the writing, its flowing well!

Hey guys! Prologue has been completed - only a fleeting introduction to the world itself. I am feeling super happy with how it is sounding so far! Chapter 1 has been started. Its called "Like a Dream". Lets see where this story takes me :)

Its been over two weeks since I posted! Time goes too quickly, and some progress has been made. I have finally put together most of the chapters to follow a theme, and I am beginning to write a prologue.🙂

However, the first piece of information I can give is that arithmetic's and its application to time is very important to the world I am creating and its inhabitants.

[C.J.NAYLOR - War of the Timekeepers @FreyaThornBooks]

Overtime, I will release snippet details about the world, its progress, and how I will select a handful of people to have their own name/character represented within the world - with obvious tweaks to ensure it fits well with the lore/laws of the narrative,

This is quite scary, but I am finally going to bring my ideas to life by creating a new fantasy world for people to fall in love with. I want people to have the same feelings I felt reading A Song of Ice and Fire or Tolkien's work for the first time.
