Being told to be proud of my accomplishment is a strange feeling.
Without finishing the trilogy, it will be ‘incomplete’. Sure, the first story came to a close. But the story isn’t done.
It is strange. When I started this project, I just wanted a reason to keep world-building. I never thought it would be something so important to me. As I created the characters, the world became more vivid, which gave the characters more agency, which flushed out the world…
A continual cycle. Now, my mind swims with the worlds I built and the characters that inhabit them.
So, when a person tells me to be proud that the first one is done, I feel like they slapped me in the face. “Be proud of being incomplete.”
So, let’s talk about this blog.
I don’t expect this to be the driver of my success, or even bring in a single reader. (Or lets be real, even have someone read it.) But I need this to be real, and this makes it real.
Plus, I can finally get this ‘craft’ of world-building out there. Who knows, maybe it will help someone one day?
