Alright, I apologize for ghosting for a while. I've decided to take a break from the internet for a bit (especially most social media, more so YouTube). I've been working and reworking The Monarch effect and have at least one chapter and a more aesthetically fit prologue in the works, which I will attempt to finish this week. Instead of jumping to the future, it's a flash from the past that progressively gets to where the first draft started (before chapter 10, I promise).
Other addition will be
- New characters (some were going to be in the original draft, I just never wrote them in; another introduction was even going to be in the chapter after the current last one)
- More sensical explanations through context (following show, don't tell)
- A revised plot with more mystery and more coherency
- Updated characters for complexity
- More accurate programs and Innerworld. (Still conflicted with the workings Tornadoes/Vortexes, however. One source says tornadoes protect an area, while another says it's like Spin programming. I guess it depends on the person.)
- Samuel has been "demoted" to a general surgeon for realism. (Also more reason as to why he works at the school and not some nice hospital in Omaha.)
- Samantha and Sammy will be renamed for reader convenience
- Italians (you know the ones)
- Alpha's origins and backstory, as well as improved dynamic (or gimmick, whichever you prefer).
- Samuel's entrance into the Innerworld
Things to be kept:
- Dream sharing
- Most flashbacks
- Alpha's dream appearance
- The homeless (if you're a reader, you know the one)
- Others
