Definitely. It’s about setting expectations. I have some good set up in the first chapter so I think there’s space to make it more epic but:

  1. I don’t want it to turn info-dumpy.
  2. There will be a big contrast with the next number of chapters which take place in a very much not epic setting. So if I turn up the heat on that first chapter, the next few would be a disappointment.

I don’t know. Maybe it’s just my inability to judge how much info is too little info.
…

And, btw, screw that troll with their unhelpful comment. Let their negativity fuel the algorithms in your favor.

It’s always soooo hard! Well, give it a shot. If you like how the show is doing it, there is not harm in trying.

Here’s my rant:

I finally got back into writing! YAY!

Cue party

The bad part is that only two characters talk to me, and they want either Chapter 2 of the first book or a dialogue-based outline of their reunion scene in Book 4.

Should I write another story while working on my anthology novel?

Hmm…I really want to see what it would be like to focus on a novel that is centered on action and some grand epic adventure in the futuristic fantasy world.

Not sure what to do. I am thinking about trying something different with the new story though.
Still, it shall be set on Alterra but with a different cast of people.

Any thoughts?

So, I did write today.

A tiny bit frustrated that I still haven’t reached the fairy battle. Next session for sure.

Depends on how determined you are to get your current story done :smirk:

Are you trying to say that I should finish my current story then focus on the next one instead of doing both stories at the same time?

Am I misunderstanding things or not?

:thinking:

Being a bum who is doing nothing is irking my nerves, but this eye twitch is distracting.

Well, if you are determined to get the story done in a certain amount of time, you might focus on your current story. If not, take time off of it and work on something else, why not? :wink:

Well, I am working hard on my current story so I was just wondering and making a suggestion.

So, having another story interfere might do more harm than good since things are going so smoothly.

sigh Such as life…

LOL!

That’s the writing life for ya :wink:

If things are going smoothly, put the new story into a corner, and focus.

You’re on a roll, qualeshia, you got this :grin: It’s been so nice to hear that you’re finally writing Alterra stories! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Thank you so much. I shall do that and put the story somewhere I can reach it for another time.

Thanks for being encouraging. :blush:
