8/2 Progress

Forgotten Star: made some decisions about Korin and his role, and will be making some subtle changes. (However I really need to get working on chapter 2 already.)

Winter Warrior: worldbuilding went really well. The extensive mapping has led me to nation relations issues (yay conflict) as well as some history. I've planned the species that habitat each nation with the intent of not filling the world up with humans who rule over everyone else, and I think I've done it. Now, for the nitty gritty of each nation and their people who have to appear in this novel.

I also wrote the first line for WW, giving my MC a voice, but strangely it was in the first person. I don't know if I really want to write an entire novel in first person. So, that's something else I have to decide in the next few weeks. The line:

No matter what the healers claim, some wounds do not fade with time--they fester. Yet despite knowing this, I step once more into the arena, very much like the one that destroyed my life.
