Regolith Part X: The Forgotten Blog!

When last we left our hero, the evil forces of Turnip had slowly eaten away at the hull of his space Cadillac. The empire had forgone their plan to wipe out the Turnips and tried to coexist peacefully with the nightmare that consumed the universe like a starved wolf to easy meat.

Now that I have your attention...
Welcome back to my progress check on Regolith, my second novel. Where did we leave off? I don't know... I don't even remember the number of parts before this. Yeah I know it pops up in auto-fill under the "title" bar because I typed it once. You might say to yourself, "But Nick, why not type a capital 'R' and easily check out the options?" Well, I didn't feel like doing that. I wanted to catch attention again. Like I did above. See? You're reading it now! You just realized I caught your attention and... *ahem*
Either way, I'll get into the meat of my post now.

So I'm staring at 16-17 chapters of story that only needs a handful of plot edits to add things I only recently thought of. The rest of my new ideas have nothing to do with what's written, but with what will be written. So it is written, so it shall be!

I decided to stop using the idea of "mana" for magic. For anyone unfamiliar with the concept, mana is the fantasy idea of "the building blocks of magic, life, etc" and it tends to be like electricity, a power plant, a heat source, or really just a catch-all/kill-all. Really just a shallow writing idea now. I figured out other, more tangible drawbacks and limits on magic that will come about in Regolith and Finale of the Dragon. A.D.A.M., not so much because there is no magic in that novel. Sort of.

Another note, I have been trying to focus myself on one novel at a time. It isn't working to well seeing as I realized a good name and back story for characters that haven't had a chance to exist yet. They need to settle down in my head!

These few chapters for Regolith are good and to the point. I've done well with the whole swapping from past and present without losing my head over it. It looks like it'll continue easily with no issues!
Yay...

Other things worth mentioning: I have someone begging me for a sequel to Rising Seas. Oops? I had an opportunity for a book signing that I forgot about... Oops?

Maybe I should write an 'oops' blog and talk about my mistakes and oopsies? Eh, maybe some day if I feel like it.

Thanks for reading and stay tuned into this moon crashing channel!
