The whole thing in regards to Project Alagossia is a combination of the things in Project Quartet.
From the world building, lore, characters and their backstories, the plot, and more. I have to write bullet points for each of the Project Quartet stories to combine it into one lengthy novel series.
I do think it is time to do that.
That will take time and I can only hope to not hyperfixate on the whole thing. I can be obsessed over the process that writing can stop.
I believe Project Alagossia is where my world-building, complex magic system, and the heavy lore can GENUINELY shine in the midst of the story’s plot and characters, the way I wanted it to.
So, I have to pause on Project Quartet for a bit, to do some jotting in my notebooks to understand what Project Alagossia needs and wants.
This is going to be a long series, I feel a five to nine book series with some side novellas. That could be some sadistic wishful thinking or I am delusional as hell, but either way I need to strive to focus on one epic novel series.
Working on four novels set in the same timeline, but all four are their own thing, is very confusing and challenging. I keep forgetting and making stuff shit that don’t fit.
So, Project Breaker, Project Succession, Project Merellien, and Project Dynasty will combine to in single epic novel series. That will take time and my mental health will do everything to limit me and annoy me.
I am going to just accept that, because it is just a part of me. Yet I won’t give up on this story. What happens after the first draft of book one? Who knows, yet I might consider a self-publishing route. Actually I will choose self-publishing! That is all I have to say on Project Alagossia.
