Check out Chapter Three! My new work in progress is Starfall, a space fantasy where death and entropy are not the end of the world.

Is there an industry standard for #editing serializing novels? I'm putting out my #creativewriting on Substack. Now I'm trying to determine if I should hire an #editor for a complete manuscript or for each serialized chapter. #newauthor

Included a CW for fantasy racism. I'll share my thoughts about imperialism in #fantasy settings in a chapter II commentary.

Also, I'm glad I decided to work on a #constructedlanguage, bc it's giving me the best kind of trouble: translation issues! I'll share my first-time #conlang story later.

Folio delenda est, or something.

Let's talk about killing our darlings and thinking about how we worldbuild.

Any advice for writing a constructed language for fiction? It's been fun playing with phonology and verb conjugations, but I'd love to avoid common mistakes early.

Got a second draft up of my first chapter.

I swear, doing any kind of editing is like fighting a dark souls boss — after dozens of attempts, you either get good, get mad, get persistent, get lucky, or get someone else to do it.
