In my story I have the Dyr. They are my take on Satyrs/Fauns they are half deer, with a variety in antler shapes and their eyes change color based on the seasons like irl caribou.
Do you have any nonhuman characters in your book? Tells us a bit about them and the role they play in the story! (Dwarves/elves/gnomes/etc fall under "humans" here, give me your aliens, your furries, your monsters) #WritingPrompt

Though tracking of my time it seems I can write at about 700 words an hour and edit at about 1000 an hour. All this tells me is how quickly I could finish my book if I didn’t have a job…
