Queen of Men

Just an update on my work on the new book. I have reached chapter 14 in the rough draft of Queen of Men. I have added a couple extra chapters to the outline, making there 29 currently, though this will likely expand. By comparison, I think the finished rough draft of The Second Shadow had 15 or 16 chapters, and through lots of lots of edits, it now has 31. It's a bare-bones rough draft, in that there won't be a lot of detail yet, but I'm just getting the storyline in place. Oddly enough, this rough draft will quite possibly have less words than the original rough draft for The Second Shadow, which had 41,000 words, but this story has more storylines and characters, and room for expansion. I enjoy the whole writing process, but this initial writing is my favorite part.

I haven't had many inspirations for things to write about in my other blog, but hopefully I'll come up with something soon, as it's been a little while now since my last entry. I may end up going back and expanding on a couple of the other entries.
