Okay chapter 22 will be a real slog, even for me. Too much going on that I can't put in the next chapter as you know it will create inconsistency and there is a plot hole which I must cover very much soon though that means another lug of words and world building and plotting and character development and adventuring throughout Ustela, what a job right? Well it's mine and I can't complain much about it since I took it on myself( not really  worlds started coming into my head and people began talking in my head, worrisome right?) 
          	
          	Also I've borrowed a science fiction book from the library, for what reason I don't know since this type is space opera and I've only read Dune and watched it too so I'm kinda put off and kinda excited for it. 
          	
          	What about you, what are you doing

@yukishan777 what scifi book did you take out, i’m curious? 
          	  
          	  Also I’m trying my best to start some reading again, been in a bit of a slump (especially with Wattpad books). I’m also getting the urge to outline a new book instead of focusing on my current one LOL

Time for a rant!!!!
          
          Wow, just wow. Have you ever read a fantasy novel and just say wow? Well I did and I am literally jumping up and down and screaming yes and yes(even though I'm getting late for school) 
          
          An Aimless War by @juliecotewriter is by far the best fantasy novel I've read on Wattpad and that says a lot because I've read some very interesting books but none such as thing. It's light-hearted, found family, thief meets rich lord, boy x boy romance and it's historical fantasy, I wouldn't say it's medieval maybe the height of the Caribbean meets Renaissance times. The politics are very subtle, not much of it so you don't have to worry about confusing plot threads but you'll ready love the book, a quick read( even though I spent 2 months reading because external and internal problems) it's a really fun read. 
          
          I dropped a review on it, just like any other book I finish reading I do that, why? Since Wattpad doesn't have a review system I believe a review will make the writer feel confident in their work instead of one line or two line comments, reviews you can actually rate the book on your standards on how you like it and I liked it very, very much! 
          
          Anyways I'm gonna take a while to publish the next chapter because well it's a new pov and a very complex character that I'm not used to writing so I'll take me time to figure him out and know what do to with him because I know how the chapter is supposed to go but the personality of the character for me is very difficult to figure out, so please bare with me and cross your fingers that I figure it out soon

CHAPTER 21 is already finished but my weak internet connection won't let me publish it so I may publish it a bit later than usual when I finish a chapter, it's one of my most dauntingly long and large chapters about 6k words, I know, I know too much write? 
          
          But here I'm favouring my story instead of shorter chapters and more parts, if I cut the chapters it would make the plot inconsistent and creat too many threads( Seven Lord's know that I have enough already) the next chapter 22 will be in the pov of your most hated character, with so many can you guess. 
          
          Also for those new to my work, this is a epic fantasy story with dark and high themes which means intense world building and a large cast of character, many plotlines which won't make sense until they meet up in the end, I don't need you reminding me of an unfinished plotline every hour( I do need some feedback so I can make it great but not comments about how unnecessary a plotline was) as because every plotline of mine is important and will help both the story move forward and entertain you. 
          
          My word count now is 111, 057 exact words, which is great but the way things are going I think we're really gunning for 200,000 words which means more longer chapters, more characters, more world building, more characters building and development, more meticulous plots and court politics, more blood and gore and mysteries to solve, I hope you bare with me here. It's a long bumpy ride, and it might either end in tears or joy*shrugs* but it will end somewhere.

Hiya, readers! 
          
          What's up!
          
          On my side it's great, I'm so excited about  chapter 21, it's Aalina's POV and my most favourite since the story started, it's currently 3000 words but I've not yet reached the point where the story is elevated. Also I've reached about 103, 090 words on the manuscript, yes 20 chapters and We're already classified as an epic fantasy, but the thing is  the book may good further into 200k words as the plotting is slow and so it the pace. 
          
          I would cut the story and prioritize more the storytelling than the world building and  development but I can't, I am obsessed about heavy world building and heavy characters development so  we're riding on. I think by June or March the story might be completed and I'll take a really long break before I start on book two, if you don't know yet but I've been writing this book for three years, whole bloody three years and finally this the version I'd go with even whene it comes to actually traditionally publishing this work, but I'm not gonna take it down just yet. I'm still gonna finish the series first then work on other projects before I take this down which is about when I reach 21 or 22  which is by the time I finish my Creative Writing degree( currently in highschool) so we still have time 
          
          Now can anyone tell me what so different about this story from others on Wattpad 

yukishan777

@neoniridescent yeah I don't do singular POV unless it's an urban fantasy and even then it's hard to actually finish the story in one way

@yukishan777 I think 200k words is a good amount for a Fantasy series! As for differences, I’ll get back to you on that question since I need to read more than 3 chapters so far to fully answer that but so far I like how Britius and Aalina’s storylines are starting to diverge. The only other series I’ve seen that done this way is Game of Thrones. 
            
            Also, with regards to your last post about author websites; I think places like wixsite let you make websites for free (from what I remember using it years ago, it may be different now). Might not even need to buy a domain!

Questions: 
          
          Who do you go on about your writing, what do you do to get you in that zone? 
          
          Me? Well I listen to many great violin orchestras and imagine my fantasy scenes happening then I write while listening while trying not to start screaming suddenly( happens often when I get that super creative burst) but that's just mostly for fantasy, when I write other genres( especially or school essays) I listen to other music
          
          What about you, what gets you in the zone for that kind of writing where all you want to do is scream like hell!
          
          *Also how to do create a professional website and no I'm not inviting anyone to make me an offer to create a website I'm saving for my publishing and I won't spend my cash on you but can anyone tell me because I'm hopeless as a hobbit here*

CHAPTER 2 0 is finally complete 
          
          *Doing happy dance* after a long break I finally managed to finish the monster, honestly it's my least favourite chapter, it don't know why but I don't like it, it seems that if taking this long to finally finish it drained my love for it. I'm gonna try to edit some a bit before I publish 
          
          Also good news I managed to interest my language teacher to editing the manuscript of the novel, which is totally awesome as he's a professional editor but doing teaching, thata means one less cost on my side when I finally publish this mess of a book also a shout out to
          
          @neonirediscent, I totally love your book, slow at reading it as I am focused on too many things but I love it and to the others, I'm getting to your books please bare with me, it's not easy being me rn as I'm in a very stuff spot which I wanna get out off when I finish school, so yeah. 
          
          But anyways how is your January, mine I can't wait to go to college and get the hell out of my mom's and live my damned life in peace!

@yukishan777 ayeee I’m glad you love it! Also don’t worry, I know life gets in the way sometimes  (also dealing with classes which I totally feel you on, January is burnout season fr). I’m slowly making my way through your book as well, really loving it so far :D gives me nostalgia for all the YA fantasy I used to read

Hiii Yuki, I was wondering if you had Discord by any chance? It’s been fun reading your comments so I wanted to send you an invite to a Discord server I’m in with other Wattpad writers. No pressure or anything if you’re not interested but if you’re down, let me know and I’ll send the link! :D 

yukishan777

@neoniridescent I do have it but I can't remember my password, I'll try asking to renew it again, you can post the link here I'll check it out
