I am going to post all my first drafts on Wattpad for SteamWorks. Book 1 is out! I am cleaning some part of my account on writing. Originally, I was going to post it on Fictionpress, but I didn't like the visual of the site and there were more ads which makes it unbearable to read.
I have a NaNoWriMo! I'm planning to finish Criminal Love in 50,000 words. No dividing the books.
I have three stories that I really want to work on, but I usually work on one story at the time.
1) Ice of Diamond - Already has a prologue, but I haven't figure out about how this story is going to tae
2) The Masked Spirits - A rewrite from the Shadow Dynasty and I got a short prologue to start the story
3) Criminal Love - Hasn't been touched in January and I want to finish that story.
Currently, I am working on Book 8 of the first draft because I want to finish up the book. I hope to finish the whole series before I begin my new semester. I wished I could have done it everyday, but I don't want to be burned out from writing stories and deleting it.
Book 8 may have 30 chapters because I am still stuck at chapter 17 and if I have less ideas, it may go to chapter 25. For now, it's planned at 30.
I finished up the chapters from 1-20 for Mirage of Time. I may be adding 10+ more chapters to it to get a bigger book as long as I stick with the concept of mirage of time. Mirage of Time might need to take away the owl part and the battle of demon and heaven.
Okay, I'm still not done with Black Snow, but I'm thinking about combining Mirage and Wings of Fate into ONE book. I see there are multiple views of the story and I think it's better to separate it into parts, but there will be chapters. I'd say what if I just remove Elara from the title because she might be an unnecessary villain which will bring EVERYTHING out of the picture. That was one reason why I did it. I did clean Ice of Diamond's story from Ellie's "things" because I went too far with it.
As for Varien's existence with barn owl wings, Varen may have it somewhere in his DNA because his ancestors have barn owl wings. Varon's sister may have one too. It's gonna be rewritten. Mirage will be part 1, Wings of Fate will be renamed.
There might be three parts, but still ONE novel. So if Mirage, Wings of Fate, and the Reincarnations are the biggest parts. These are just my thoughts now.
Okay, once I rewrite/reread SteamWorks the 3rd time....I will rethink about my plot. SteamWorks could go smaller OR bigger, but the plot is tedious. There are multiple of arcs. If I do the SteamWorks Trilogy, I could make the plot a lot shorter by NOT adding the earth concepts, the angels/demons concept but just the timeless angels concepts. (This would be an ultimate REWRITE). Not good, but at least I am restraining the word counts as well so SteamWorks could have more scenes ONLY in the Axon dimension. I don't know if I'm gonna take that route.
I had bunch of ideas like last year. Do you know what? I'll write my draft in my journal and rewrite it on Word only for the trilogy part IF I get to that.
I should have written my status in here.
I'm currently in the rewriting process of the SteamWorks universe. I feel like I should reboot one of the stories while rewriting that universe because the other ones might need improvement. I don't know. We'll see. Maybe I'll write a short roleplay scenes of the Syntax OCs, I don't know. I get more on the reading list for being a computer science student.
It seems like the computer science story gets into the reading list a lot when I don't write so much about it because there's no thoughts about it and I'm always busy.
I'm starting to feel that I am a bad writer because I don't reedit my stories. I don't think I did it once, but only look for excessive words.
