Being unemployed, feeling an itch, finding a local writing group and the online Brandon Sanderson lectures website http://www.writeaboutdragons.com/ , I took it upon myself to start writing an Epic Fantasy Caper of my own devising.



7931 Words and counting.

Have thrashed out pretty much all of what needs doing with TISBWO enough to start into it in a nice logical ordered fashion next time I sit down to write.
Mildly OCD. Please do not troll.

kittensgame, Sandcastle Builder, Homestuck, Welcome to Night Vale, Civ III, lots of print genre SF, and old-school SATT gaming if I had the time.  Also Pandemic Legacy is the best game ever.

It's a young adult steampunk fantasy, the first in a new series I plan to self-publish.

The heroine, Cora, and her mother lose their status in society when her father dies of an illness. To save her mother after she is arrested, Cora becomes an outlaw, and discovers that piracy and the outlaw life runs in her family. She embarks on a quest to fight back against the corrupt patriarchy that rules the Empire, assembling a crew of fellow outlaws and resistance fighters.

Keep after it Wordmaker!  It'll be interesting to see how it does for you.

Very constructive day yesterday, 1500 words new fiction and about twice that much in organising notes and world stuff, and I think a couple of things in there might maybe be new ideas rather than parts of this one thing.  Shame it was the last summer half-day Friday for this year.

Cleaning up a short before sending it back to the subbing pits tomorrow, and finished up the 1st draft of a 5K short.  Going back to the WiP this week while I let the short simmer for revision.
