Merci!

Oui! Tu parles francais!

My other WIP (unnamed at this point) is a cross between Robin Hood and Little Red Riding Hood set as a sci-fi. It features questions about trust, a crazy lot of parallel between those two stories, and maybe an exploding ship or two.

Robin Hood vs the big bad wolf in space? I love it. 🙃

Writing process. . . as far as novels go, it’s definitely an outlining way. I’m a plotter who hates plotting (and, to be frank, I’m not great at it – my writing skills are much stronger than my storytelling skills at this point), so I’ll get input from friends at each step of the Three Act Structure, and then I’ll sketch out the chapters for myself before plunging into the first draft (I can generally finish a first draft in two months if I work steadily; last WIP I had to pause for a while so it was more like four or five months).

It sounds like we are quite similar in this area. I love thinking about new ideas, but putting them into is tedious and drags out so much sometimes that my brain wants to go on strike. Do you use a chapter by chapter outline?

A first draft in two months is pretty good. I finished the first draft of my current WIP in a little less than three months, so I’m right there with ya. 🙂

Other passions. . . most certainly! I enjoy music (I play the piano), walks with friends, graphic design, drawing (when I’m bored XD), rambling about little in particular. . .

I love music as well. Singing and wind instruments are more down my alley, but I’m sorta attempting to learn the guitar. What programs do you use for graphic design?

I can ramble about nothing in particular with the best of them. 🙃

Ooh, awesome! And you might just have won the award for vaguest book description. 😜 How many books do you expect to have in the series?

*gives a bow

I did my best. Alright, here is a slightly better description: The series is called The Purging,  and it follows a motley group of people attempting unravel and stop a conspiracy of sorts in medieval Europe.

I plan on there being five books in the series, with each being around 200k each. The first one clocked in at a little over 190k. What about you?
