Now that I’m working on Deviations revision (mostly…), this episode is all about the three main characters in the story, as well as touching on the importance of knowing your characters with greater depth that may ever seem to appear in your novel.

And still managed to keep it short(ish)!
For the start of season three, after a bit of venting on issues with WordPress and a doing plug for the newsletter, I discuss some of the potential contenders for the 2R position, i.e. my second novel to be released after Aisuru comes out in a few months. After reviewing some of the more unlikely choices, I focus on my top contenders for deeper thoughts on both. This episode finishes up with a bit of a bonus – a reading of the current (very rough) first chapters of both of these options! Suffice to say, this one is a long […]
