Maybe three chapters to go? Am aiming toward a first draft toward the end of November, and then beta readers, editors, etc. So end of year is possible (but never guaranteed!).
Also started a side project today which I'll write on and off to take mental breaks. 'Firsts' was a side project that sat on the back burner for a couple of years, until I suddenly decided to finish it. This one (working title 'Three Lives') is a system apocalypse heavily based on the Chinese webnovels I've been reading about holographic games. It'll remind people a little of 'The Starfighter Invitation', but is more traditional to the sub-genre than TSI. One of those stories I write purely because I want to read another in the style, but can't find anything that suits me. Don't expect to see it for years.
First sentence: Dying wasn't fun, but being reborn managed to be worse.
Ooh, sort of a game isekai then? As always, interesting ^^
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! Both the progress on 4 kings and the side project. Looking forward to seeing it out in the world!

ReplyDeleteYes!!! I'm so excited! Just reread the Darest books and loved them just as much this time around as the last 4 times❤️
ReplyDeleteAny hope of the next book after Pyramids?
ReplyDeleteI'll be working on and aiming to finish Tangleways in 2023.
