All right, I’ve done enough outlining now that I feel ready to start officially writing draft one of The Narrow Path Trilogy – Book II: The Sword! Whew!
So this means that soon, I will be posting chapters! I think for this one, instead of using Reedsy, I will use Google docs. (I will probably use Reedsy for a later draft). It will be under restricted access, so I will try to post all the chapters into one document to make it more convenient for everyone. Here is the link:
The Narrow Path Trilogy – Book II: The Sword
Since this is going to be a first draft, its going to be a bumpier ride. I’m going to pay no attention to grammar right now. You can make suggestions on things like that, but I will ignore them for now. Right now I am more interested in powering through and getting that story onto paper. I will answer questions if you have them, though.
I will try to write the prologue tomorrow.
@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper @theducktator @keilah-h @stephie(I kind of want to tag some people who haven’t read book one yet to see how well I can provide context in book II, but maybe I will wait for a later draft for that. what do you think?)
Sometimes it is necessary to paint the sky black in order to see the stars.
@linus-smallprint Probably a good idea to wait till a later draft.
Can’t wait to see what’s in store for Alan and the group!

I see the prologue (btw I love how it’s called “The Chapter Before”) already has a title!

Oh… just you wait. There are things. Also stuff.

Yay!

One of my pet peeves is when authors provide tons of context about book I in book II. If you start at the middle book in a series, then you deserve utter bewilderment. XD
Any salad can be a Caesar salad if you stab it hard enough.

Go look at Alcatraz if anyone disagrees with that statement,
No half-heartedness and no worldly fear must turn us aside from following the light unflinchingly.
@theducktator @ellette-giselle
Yeah, but the other reason to do it is to refresh the reader’s memory of the previous book. Notice that while Alcatraz complains about it, he still does it. The trick is to include it naturally instead of going out of your way to do it. So I hope to find a way to do that.
I think I will just stick with people who have read the book one draft(s) for now.

@theducktator, did you send an access request? I haven’t seen anything yet.

Okay, the prologue is out now. I’m a bit missy with the point of view in there, but I am trying not to care right now.
If you encounter ${ } in my writing, this just means that I am using a placeholder.
Now I need to go shovel.

Messy…. I believe.
Yes. I feel like correcting people’s grammar today.
Maybe I’ve been writing too many Nazi POVs.

Yes. Up here in Canada, we’ve gotten snow as late as May.

Probably. No soup for you.

@linus-smallprint I requested access just so you know in case you don’t recognize my email. Although it’s kinda obvious seeing as I’m “Stephie” here

It’s 18 degrees Celcius outside and the warmest thing I wore today was a sweatshirt.
*chuckles because I get to say I’m Canadian whilst living in a Southern area of Canada*
