Hi all, and happy new year! What a rough start, what with the borders opening in Queensland and everyone and their mom (including myself) catching COVID-19. (I’m recovering, but it’ll be a bit before I can launch back into personal creative work. To my sense of smell: you will be missed.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apologies for the delay on the most recent chapter in progress, The Story of the Queendom <\/em>(tentative title). As the title suggests, it is in essence the story of Orobelle’s ancestors, in particular the ones who precipitated the split of the Queendom, and the centuries of war and intrigue that ensued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yeah, it’s what they call a Big One. So much so that the original concept of the chapter had to be split into three. It could almost be a novel in its own right (the way Supercell<\/em> could’ve been), as it covers so many centuries of pivotal history, and really I could write an entire chapter focusing on the life of any given figure in the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m well aware that said history is peripheral at best to the RD plot, but knowing it will be key in understanding future plot developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It currently stands at about 2,500 words in length, and has been there for almost three months. I’ve had a hectic 2021, and almost entirely stopped writing after I moved to my new apartment; NaNoWriMo was me dipping my toes in it again. But I’m optimistic that early 2022 is when I’ll finally get back into the swing of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks for waiting, I promise it’s gonna be a good one so sit tight while I get this chapter hammered out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi all, and happy new year!
