Yeah, that is true. I don’t have a massive gripe with prologues unless it really doesn’t serve a purpose. When it comes to my own prologues, I tend to struggle with what to do about it.

It is distracting, but I do get that listening to music can help.
Till YouTube responds with annoying ass ads, or my minds wanders, or something else distracting.

So, Anna/Annika/Nirvana is going to become the main/major antagonist for The Breakers/Red Reign novel and maybe some other novel.
Here goal for doing the evil things she is doing has to make sense…to me.

I’m stressing a little over nothing far as writing this story.
In the changes, which happen to be Red Reign, Ryker (originally Elred) is creation of a mage-scientist that was killed by someone who shared a long history with Ryker’s master/creator/father figure.
The problem is that Ryker remembers the person who murder or rather left him to “die”. Yet Ryker is actually Renna who took over the rusted body of the Machina (magic- wielding android) that was obsolete and made it her own.
Yet, Ryker has some unfinished business with the man who wants killed his father figure while Renna has some unfinished business with the entire world and the Firstlings too.
Ryker and Renna want revenge but for different reasons and that alone is really confusing.
Unless I have an “everything is connected” type deal towards the end of book one and all of book two.
Yup, I DEFINITELY NEED to do some plotting/planning along with just going with the flow.
That’s where the stress comes from… a little.

I don’t mind it, but I usually only use three vowels to show the looong vowel.

Okay so, I quite like this bit:
More light magick splashed the walls as if to ward off the ancient horror that once resided here. When the light warmed, Vivienne breathed relief to know at least she was among friends and, somewhere, help was on its way.
I ended up transforming the last battle into two parts. First, they think they defeated the big boss and might be winning, but then it looks like they are losing. And on top of that a new big boss soon arrives and looks like it’s close to impossible to win now. They don’t have enough magick or army force and must retreat while the big bad goes to terrorize the kingdom.
I decided they would go into a short period of healing and wait for help to arrive if they can, but then a message will come to say that soon the other lands will be threatened and it would be a matter of time before Earth lands will be threatened, too.

Hmm, that’s a good tip. So I don’t overdo it like “WeeeeEEEeeeeEEh!” 
Anyone else feel like they forget the entire English language when they write? Like you want to write this ultra awesome action scene or some flowery prose and then you’re like… the grass is green. Umm… water is wet.

Think my new author life as a YT Novelist is starting off well. One of my audiobooks is up to 1K views now, and I’m slowly clocking up the count. Although, other forms of engagement are still ways off. People are watching, but not liking or commenting. Hopefully, it’ll continue to be fine.

I was going to write part 1, chapter 1 in both first and third person novel format just to see which is the one I am vibing with the most…tonight.
Honestly, with the hell I’ve been through earlier, I think it is safer to just take it easy and get ready for bed fairly soon.
So, tomorrow, hopefully…

Yes.
My words can’t keep up with the epic movie going on in my head XD
I also repeat myself a bazillion times. She ran, she rushed forward, she ran, she dashed, she dashed and ran and hurried, all in the same action scene.
I try to give variety but during intense scenes, the nice descriptive words leave my brain and wish me good luck

Have ANOTHER totally different idea for some other Alagossian story that is sorta gnawing at me…at the moment.
So, yeah, nothing out of the ordinary here…
Other end of the spectrum.
The vermillion fields… No, the verdant fields dappled in whetted wheat seemed like a young cheese squirming with life.
Where is “The grass is green. It is pretty?!” I just put grubs in that field, mentally!
For some reason, that visual makes me feel icky haha squirming cheese. 
Any cheese that squirms needs to go in the garbage.
There are some cheeses? that are supposed to be eaten that way. As far as I know the US won’t import them.

Honestly, I thought that self-publishing authors did ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING by themselves in a way they got no help.
That is what freaked me out about going into self-publishing. The most they do alone is advertise their novels, spend some or a lot of money on creating their novels, and things of that nature.
I honestly and humorously thought they did not only that, but also the entire editing process WITHOUT A EDITOR AND/OR BETA-READER, because the self-publishing author are those things too.
Yeah, me thinking that way is weird.
LOL!
@Akje: Thanks for mentioning to me about either Reedsy or some other site like it that one time…I think. LOL!
