Unlike a lot of my other stories, it is less heavily reliant on dialogue for character building, being as the main character can't speak, and there are less scenes of battle or direct violence. The emphasis is more on the magic system and political tensions. It's been a fun, if difficult, writing process, and I look forward to reading it through when it's finished!(less)

Halfway through the year

This is a very belated reflection post, because around the time I started writing it I got some sad news about an author friend. That will be a separate post.

As usual, my accomplishments are largely invisible.1 I’ve largely been revising the zero draft of my WIP. Currently the WIP is 102,000 words, and I just don’t feel confident in it. I’m revising part one (there are three parts right now, but I
