So I’ve decided to really buckle down and begin to work on a novel this year.

I’ve always wanted to actually publish something but I’ve put it off for years and I’m just… not letting myself anymore. But! I have a bad habit of getting discouraged in my original stuff (one reason why I’ve put it off) so I’m going to start giving weekly updates on my writing here. Will it help? I have no idea, but I think it will push me a little to have the accountability of posting something every week. Feel free to ignore them, but just a heads-up that I am about to start making regular posts about this book!

As a first update, all I can say is that I am getting lost in the weeds of outlining. This is the first thing over ever outlined and I sort of hate it but it is also helping me. There is a story forming, but I’m sort of afraid that in this story I’m losing my main character, if that makes sense. I had a very strong sense of who they were and now in the course of figuring out the plot I’m not sure that I do anymore. It’s making me want to go back to the drawing board, but I’m not sure if I should just finish outlining first and see what happens.

#heyyy guys sorry for lurking #but this is basically why I’ve only popping in and out #novel progress #on writing

Absolutely going feral imagining my novel as I’m writing it!!

I’m at 70k rn I’m probably gonna get to like 100k and the final act of the story is in full effect and just imagining all the cool moments.

I’m like foaming at the mouth playing music and imagining what’s gonna happen and legit so excited for the story. I’m gonna die I’m so excited and happy to be an author like this is the dream I’ve never been this happy unless I’m writing

So I’m “writing” a book

Writing is in quotation marks since my planning/novel prep is no where near done and I have a total of like 1k words written.

But in the interests of me wanting to rant about my characters in a non professional/academic setting I’m going to start sharing things on here.

Not like I was doing anything else with this blog so might as well use it to keep me in check and working.

Anyways! The Pitch!

“Xiè Ānlíng's life is turned upside down when he is pulled from the edge of Yǔlóng bridge. Now he’s been dragged into an ongoing investigation of a local mystery, a serial drowning. Now for the first time in a long time Ānlíng is spending his days around town, meeting fresh faces and feeling strangely alive. Their search turns to the supernatural when strange phenomena start interfering and he is chosen next to die. The line between life and death blurs when they get further entangled with the malevolent spirit haunting their waters. With mythology blending into reality and murderous spirits with vendettas, Ānlíng is torn between leaving Huáyún to fend for himself or risking his life for his first true friend.”

The idea is for it to be like Death Mark (the horror games) meet Chinese Mythology/Folklore (loosely) but as a story of self-discovery instead of full horror-mystery? I don’t know, I’ll workshop that a bit more.

Novel Update 02/16/2024:

So! First I got sick, but that just allowed me to wallow in my nest of blankets and iron out a few behind the scenes things, so it was ok. I also took the plunge and started writing, just to get a feel for how this is going to flow. I got about 1,300 words down which was nice since I was only shooting for 500.

I really like how the characters are shaping up, even though they are pretty much unrecognizable from where I started planning them. And I’ve decided to have two major romances instead of just one, because I want both and I don’t want to have to choose.

And I have some major plot beats, which is good! I’m not sure if I’ll need to go back and figure out some of the more minor scenes or just kind of go with the flow in between what I have planned… I never over-planned with fanfic, but I am figuring out that it is so so so different when it’s all your original fiction. So I’m trying to be loose and just do what works for this project instead of falling back on what my habits are.

Word count: ~1,300

LINKS:

🜲 Play the Game

Estimated Release: N/A

🜲 FAQ

🜲 Pinterest

🜲 Character Descriptions

🜲 Family Descriptions

🜲 Map of Arvandor

🜲 Genre(s): Fantasy, Romance, Drama, Hurt/Comfort, and Action/Adventure.

🜲 Rating: Tenebrous is an 18+ Fantasy IF set within the mythical world of Arvandor.

The Kingdom of Aetheria, within the world of Arvandor, is a nation ripe with history. King Lysander du Aetheria rose up and led the fledgling Aetherian Army against The Forsaken One— Herald of the Abyssal Uprising— and came out victorious when everyone else had failed. With his victory, Lysander placed Aetheria as one of the key pillars of keeping Arvandor safe; allowing for peace to reign over the continent for centuries.

Peace, however, was never meant to last.

The Order of Netheron, Followers of The Forsaken One, had captured you at the tender age of fifteen, holding you captive for a decade within a tower only labeled as “The Spire”. All due to their wish of resurrecting their fallen deity— something that they believe could only be accomplished by using the blood of King Lysander’s descendants; it was a ritual that didn’t go as planned— one that did bring back their deity, but only for your eyes and ears only; the both of you attached to the other in a way that probably wasn’t intended.

And that’s how you spent the last decade of your life… Growing used to the presence that now appears whenever the time calls for it. It isn’t until your twenty-fifth year that you’re finally found and taken back to Aetheria, to everything you had long thought you’d lost.

Your time in the sun, however, was short-lived as the tidings of an even darker uprising was beginning to grow— one that threatens to demolish everything and everyone.

Can you figure out how to save your home?

🜲 Create your Aetherian Royal:

Name/Nickname

Gender [Male, Female, or Non-Binary]

Appearance

Hobbies

Personality [Mainly involving unique reactions to certain situations— the MC is semi-set in some ways]

🜲 Romance 1 of 4 potential love interests— each offering their own unique experience within the story and how the world at large will react to the burgeoning relationship.

🜲 Bond with your family after being apart for so long. They have missed you a great deal. [The MC is a middle child.]

🜲 Harness the magic that flows through your veins due to the gift of your blood.

🜲 Choose from a variety of skill sets that your MC may be able to acquire. [Note: This means you can choose something to specialize in, instead of having to constantly choose between being a diplomat or warrior. You can instead choose to be a swordsman while also focusing on the art of diplomacy.]

🜲 Build a codex from the various interactions that you can have throughout your story— from places, to people, to old legends that have tested the passage of time within Arvandor.

Astorian/Astoria du Aerilon: The Heir to Aerilon, and the person that was your betrothed from the time you were seven until your disappearance. Astorian/Astoria spent every winter with you, and you every summer with them, in hopes that a union between the both of you would bring your countries together. You remember many things from that time of your life: their warm laugh, brazen attitude, arrogant smirk, and their inability to stay still for long. Meeting them again? It simply proves how much can change in a decade. [Can choose to have been in an almost relationship with them or still rivals.]

William/Wilhelmina du Arvandor: A recent addition to the Holy Order, who has an iron-clad need to help and be of assistance to anyone that may require it. Being a Paladin has been something they’ve strived towards for the last eight years of their life; training being second to nothing. It’s simply a mere coincidence, or the Divine’s Will, that their first major mission was to rid Arvandor of the last dregs of Netheron… A mission that brought them to The Spire, with a small band of warriors, to carry out that very task— wherein they find the Lost Heir of Aetheria. You.

Gabriel/Gabrielle Adair: Being renowned within the arcane arts, having achieved the rank of High Mage within the Aetherian Institute of Magic, it’s of little surprise that the royal family of Aetheria would call on someone with their skill set— if it weren’t for the scandal that still plagues them. You’re not sure what could have been so bad that would force them to retreat within themself like they have, especially if your parents had seen them fit enough to tutor you, but it’s obviously something that weighs heavily upon them. Will it be possible to wrangle out the secrets of their past when you’re still trying to figure out your own gift?

Ilyran/Ilyria Caelestis: The Forsaken One, an individual that’s visible only to your eyes from a ritual gone wrong. There isn’t much you can glean from them, after all you can only take what they say with a grain of salt, but the shadows that lurk within their eyes has nothing to do with the darkness that now lives within them. It’s hard sometimes to look at what they’ve become when you’ve seen what they were in Old Texts, when they weren’t the Forsaken One, weren’t the Divine’s Disgrace… When they were simply Ilyran/Ilyria Caelestis, High Priest/Priestess of the Holy Order.
