Halfway There!

At long last, I can happily report that Humanastra III is more than halfway written! The process has been long and arduous as this book will wrap up many of the challenges presented in H1 and H2. After quite a few revisions and amendments, I can say with certainty that the hard parts are behind me, and the remainder of the novel should flow forth from my fingers with relative ease.

You may wonder, "What makes it so difficult to write?" or "Why has it taken so long?" I could conjure an infinite number of excuses, blaming a lack of time or other obligations that supercede my desires to pen 10,000 words per day, but it really comes down to one simple fact: I don't want to screw up the story. Much like the last half of H2, H3 will split into multiple concurrent stories happening across different locales on Tajna. Some of the difficulty presents within the timing of such events, finding synchronicity between multiple groups so that their stories can logically converge later in the book. Now that I'm past that point, only the smaller obstacles remain.

The Humanastra series is full of conflict. Every character faces trials both external (with other characters or the environment) and internal (grappling with emotions like doubt, jealousy or arrogance). H3 continues the trend of the other books, framing multiple tiny struggles within a broad, all-encompassing global calamity. As characters flourish or perish, emotions run high, and every victory or loss is felt by all. No marginal amount of strife is too small to ignore in times of war and death.

The book will be finished later than I'd originally planned, but every day, that light at the end of the tunnel gets a little brighter. Stay patient, and as always, I appreciate the support!
