Hey everyone!
After much thought, I have decided to embody a struggling writer, and restart The Old world. Let me explain:
Unfortunately it took me 6 chapters to realize this, but the reader needs a more personal relationship with Lyra - one that can only be accessed through first person. So yes - I will be re-writing this story in the first person.
I’ve also been thinking about where I want this story to go, and some things I’m adding in right now are throwing the remainder of the story off. I don’t want to elaborate, as to avoid spoilers.
Lastly, I myself need to gain a better knowledge of who Lyra is to continue writing her story. I think her character as of now is more emotional than who I intended her to be, so I will be reworking that a bit.
I will leave the current version of The Old World up until I am done re-writing the first six chapters on Google Docs. After that, I will post a new message confirming the reworked version of the beginning of the story is done, and post it. This might take a while, as writing six chapters is no easy feat!
Until then, I really appreciate your continued support. Thank you guys so much! : ))))
