Heart of the Wild

Afterword

Well, what a long, strange trip it's been! But I am so thankful it's finally over!

After, at least, three changes to the story's plot, three years of work, and four changes to the cover, I'm finally done with this! Or at least I am for now because I lost the motivation to put all the stuff in that I originally wanted to put into it.

It was clear to me that as I while writing this story I had no idea what I was doing and was just winging it. Then I figured out that I should outline the plot instead of being like, "Eh, I'll just figure it out as I go."

So I guess this is my first novel? Maybe? Not really at all. And I can't publish this traditionally anyway since Warcraft is not my own thing that I made...in fact, it existed before I was even born...

You can thank my father for my addiction.

Do I plan on writing another one of these for my other RP characters? I was planning on it. However, after seeing how long this one took and coupled with the want to move onto my own "original" stories, I'm not going to.

As much as I want to keep my Horde/Alliance ratios even, I know that I need to move out, experiment, and actually work on trying to publish stuff.

I'm currently working on a children's book series, playing a YA series idea as well as a single middle-age novel, but I put a lot of it on hold in order to finish this story.

If you were wondering, yes I will probably come back to this and fix inconsistencies. Just bare with me for the time being.

Also, I know seems like the story doesn't have a clear ending and there should be more, that's due to the fact that this was just a backstory. The character itself is part of a bigger story that's still being updated.

Despite what some people say, WoW is still alive. There may be disagreements between the player base and the development team, but it doesn't seem like it's going anywhere soon.

Anyway, I'll just leave you guys here. Thank you so much, and happy reading!
