Ascension, Part 2 isn't going anywhere. No need to worry, dear reader, I'm not going anywhere.
For now, I do need to take a pause from writing Part 2 to work on doing a hard edit of Part 1. There's a lot, and I do mean, A LOT of grammatical issues and narrative errors that I need to fix if I'm going to continue, otherwise it's going to bug me to no end.
The direction of the story is staying intact, I'm not changing anything. The only things that need to be changed are sentence structures and how things are told from a narrative perspective. Re-reading these old chapters I wrote over a year ago look far too technical and could use an upgrade. Conveying how someone feels by being too literal about what they're feeling looks pretty boring, to be honest and I know if I need to improve as a writer, those need to be fixed.
Other things are how the fights are narrated. Those need to be polished.
Third, it took me a while to figure out what kind of character I wanted Kelerot to be, and re-writing a few parts throughout Part 1 can vastly improve his description, plus after learning a few new things along the way, I can avoid making him look a little too OP.
But that's where I stand.
I don't know for sure how long it'll take to edit all 31 chapters (30 plus prologue), but so far I'm mid-way through editing chapter 4. I hope to get all of these done as soon as I can so I can move on with Part 2. I know where I'm taking the story since I wrote a breakdown of each chapter so I'm not lost, lol.
Anyway, keep in touch.
Cheers,
