that’s all of it :sob:

okay, uh, yes, the character speak plains indian sign language now. i think pisl suits the character better than asl. and yes, pisl is a dying language, like most (if not all) First Nations languages, because that’s what happens to a language when you genocide the people that speak it.

also it’s plains indian sl. Indian sign language is from India, Plains Indian sign language is from First Nations/Native American tribes in the central north (the plains)

Historical fantasy or something along those lines?

If people can be method actors, I am gonna be a method writer.

It’s already gotten me 2k into my story. Well, two stories actually. Trusting the process, and not getting hung up on hitting every single plot point in said structure. It’s helping the story become more logical and organic. Does it have a rough outline? Of course, but it’s not squeezed into one structure completely.

After misreading your comment a bit, I assume historical fantasy and that is all I can say to that. So, yeah, I don’t really understand why either now. LOL!

Same. :sweat_smile:

I need to print out the manuscript for Project Succession soon, but need a plan on how to print it out that doesn’t involve printing at home.

I am still answering my own questionnaires for Alagossia.

I am planning to start Project Bloodline soon and I am thinking about another novel project set in Alagossia.

Update: Say hello to Project Nighttime! So, besides Project Bloodline and Project Succession, I have Project Nighttime. Project Succession is going to take a backseat because I want to focus on Nighttime and Bloodline and world-building Alagossia.
