First edit is complete, and I'm ready for round two. Meeting with the illustrator in two hours! I'm utterly psyched!
I finally finished something completely!
Tonight, I submitted my novelette, Abuse of Power, for publication in Myths Inscribed.
Even with all the drafts and revisions, part of me wishes I had more time to add yet more tension and more emotion. On the other hand, today I wrote that one of my characters "snarled his lips into a feral grin," so maybe it's good that I'm finished looking at it.
That's great news! Congratulations.
Hoping you get an acceptance 1st go....
I also submitted something to Myths Inscribed. It's part of something I've been working on off and on for a few years, but never quite got down. I was going to try to portray the whole arc in under 3000 words, which I think would have been doable, but wouldn't have done it justice. And I was uneasy about the role one of the characters had - it was too passive. So pretty much last minute I changed things around, turned two characters (a wizard and his widowed sister) into one (a witch) and chose a small, standalone part of the story to write as a full arc and I'm quite happy with it. Fingers thoroughly crossed.
In fact I've had quite a productive week. I also wrote a poem I'm quite happy with and put up an article on my website; it's about great locations in fantasy.
I reached a major milestone today!
The 2nd draft of Power of the Mages is complete!!!
