Chapter 21 out! Not too happy with this one. I’ve discovered I don’t like to write fight scenes.

Chapter 25 out!
I don’t think I want this to be James. This is too similar to Eric. Both characters feel unappreciated, and grow depressed because they don’t fit in and feel. The only thing different is James has hope in The Saviour so he’s less self centered and is more outgoing. But I can see Eric going through this exact same thing if he was one of The Faithful. He would probably even say the exact same things. I’ll see what you think and if you have any ideas on how to fix it. But honestly, try to picture a saved version of Eric doing this.

I feel like the quality of these recent chapters hasn’t been as good, and I’m loosing steam. But I need to remeber that this is just the first draft. Fell free to provide… motivation to get me to keep going until then end. (Interoperate that how you will. I know, it’s risky saying that.)

May 9, 2025 at 1:41 pm #202623@linus-smallprint yeah, it’s just a first draft, those are never, ever perfect. Some can get close to how the end story is, but there’s inevitably gonna have to be at least one scene you cut, one set of dialogue you rework, one characters whose role changes, etc.

This chapter took an unexpected direction. I never thought I would be writing that sort of thing. *shivers* But then again, Andrew Perterson had something like it in his first Wingfeather book.

May 12, 2025 at 2:29 pm #202716@linus-smallprint i mean like as long as you’re clarifying that superstitions are wrong, then it’s not bad to include it as an obstacle to the characters..
