Expansion

The world of WMRR is getting bigger. I need to revamp a few parts. I already knew I'd need to rewrite chapter 1, but I also need to work on explaining the universe a little bit better. Right now, its mostly character-centred, which is what I want, but it needs to have a strong base in another world on another continent. This will be difficult, but I think I have all the pieces I need. In addition, I am expanding the story. If all goes according to plan, there will be two books after this, which I have the basic plots and aspects outlined. I have been thinking on how to continue the story after the first part. I always knew there would be more, but I was unsure of how to execute it. All I need is to figure out how all the players come together in the end, and who will ultimately come out on top.

And the purpose. What needs to be accomplished. That, right there, is the ultimate aspect. One I do not have the means to devise yet. I have no idea how it will all end, but I know how a lot of elements will come full circle. I have a lot of work cut out for me.

So essentially, based on my current work ethic and amount of words I am getting weekly, this project (all three books) will be completed in...25.6 years.  

Either I need to pick up the pace or get a new hobby.

  1. I've had TOA's plotline for the 2 major books figured out for about 3-4 years now, and TOA itself about 6-7 years. However, in 25.6 years I'll long be dust in the wind and not another word will have been written.

    The third TOA book is a bit rougher because the circumstances the second book puts the world in offer extremely little to work with, but it doesn't conclude the events of the world in a meaningful manner. So, no, I'm not 100% sure I know how the story ends yet. I may not be able to figure it out before I die. There is a lot of unstable variables at that point. A lot of races and characters that have been in my head but undeveloped, like an ice race, the Black Sun TOA arcs, etc.

    But yes, I know what largely happens to all the main chars.
