Renewed Conviction
I'm going to write more this year.Which really won't take much to accomplish.
I really really want to finish a first draft of one of my novels. Preferably Être-Úll, as it's the first book in the trilogy, but if I could get more done on Drogoloth it might help. And if I could figure out how the heck to write Rhaten's Field, that would be monumental. But I don't know if I can do that until I know exactly how Drogoloth ends. I mean, I know where it ends in the plot line and the basics of what's going on, but how it ends is a different matter. No real time passes between the end of Drogoloth and the beginning of Rhaten's Field, unlike the 4-year gap between Être-Úll and Drogoloth.
What I really need to do is find my notebooks. They're downstairs, somewhere. I've written a couple more pages for both Être-Úll and Drogoloth, as well as countless notes and scribbles, and all of it is in two notebooks somewhere in a box, and I'm stuck mostly without them.
Kalea needs to be renamed. It was really a placeholder name, but then I thought it might work. Except now I've discovered that there is a main character named Kalea in one of Boris Karloff's movies (Snake People), and the name is unusable for me now. I also have to rename Bakari, and would like to rename Faolan because of pronunciation issues. I think the rest of the characters should be alright, though.
Plus, I have good characters to turn evil, people to kill, a war to recount, another war to start, betrayal to set in action, espionage to reveal, love to spark, jealousy to deal with, moody characters to contend with, bickering muses to handle (they don't get along well with each other), and an entire ending to figure out.
Should be fun.
