Leeann Hively-insalaco | 4 comments Hello!

Thanks for this group. I'm glad to be here. The link for the third chapter of my novel, 'Primordial Purpose', is here...if it works. If not, I'll gladly take any instructions on how to link my submissions.

Welcome to the group!
No it didn't work. On your submission page check the top right corner. There should be blue text that says, 'Shareable Link'

click that.

Now you can copy the URL at the top and paste it here for everyone.

Andres Rodriguez (aroddamonster) | 619 comments You're very welcome. It is working now.

When you get a chance would you mind hitting the edit button on your first post and adding chapter 1 and 2 links just in case anyone wants the prequel to chapter 3?

Leeann Hively-insalaco | 4 comments Absolutely! I'm currently editing those as the characters have been guiding the narrative. I'll get them uploaded asap.

Andres Rodriguez (aroddamonster) | 619 comments Hi Leeann,

I have a few questions about your novel.

1. What word count per chapter are you shooting for?
2. Which author or which book is the inspiration for you wishing to write your own novel? I'm asking because this reminds me of Diana Gabaldon.
3. In a single paragraph, can you describe what happens in chapter 3.

Leeann Hively-insalaco | 4 comments I'm sorry for the delay in response. I was just hit with a huge family emergency and am now behind on literally everything. I am trying to be gentle with myself as far as allowing life to happen and not getting to my writing when it's really big stuff that requires my focus.

I have several books playing out in my head. This is the one I want to focus on currently because of all the lore and goddess mythology that I have been into in the past couple years. I think the only thing my work has in common with DG is that there's time travel involved. Beyond that, I don't have the same political intrigue as she does in her Outlander series, and this is going to be written as a YA/contemporary in-between...not quite as serious as DG's work.

I plan on combining chapters.. One and two will become one, three and four will become two, etc. I plan on having roughly 75k words at the end. Possibly a bit more.

In chapter three, we see a little more of the house, are given looks at a couple more characters, see suitable clothing being made, and discover faeries exist and magic is a tangible thing in this timeline. Jeffrey begins to recover from his shock and will be fleshed out through conversation with Morgan primarily.
