Changes in meds and my mind is clear and creative juices are dripping. Poor Sam, 13 chapters into book 2 and I'm stuck, I know where I'm going. But getting there and making it right have become an issue. It's going to take time and inspiration, but there will eventually be a book 2, I hope.
Meanwhile Koby Roberts has become my new nemesis, 12 chapters in 3 days. The dude wants out of my head. It's also a new style for me, a system novel, if you're familiar with those. I read too many machine translated stupidly long Chinese novels while down and sick over the last year. The new novel is called American With A Chinese System (awacs). Bad Chinese English translating is part of the charm of this one. Even worse. I'm actually learning some Chinese characters. I hope this book doesn't do that to anyone else, Chinese is just wrong on so many levels in my brain. As always, I'll only post if/when completed.
Let me add that system novels are really hard to write, you have to keep track of every point, level, skill, metric, calculation, Etc. I've already had to retcon once to fix a mistake I made because it would change the story too much to rewrite it. It worked great, so making lemonade. So happy to be writing again! 破釜沉舟
