Novella Update – New Tactic

Change of plans. I lined up the parts of the novella 'Six Domes of Draksia' into a document, reviewed it, edited it - did whole thing. After that, I asked my editors for a quick scan of the plot and the writing, but they gave me a different idea. Apparently, they are willing to dedicate …

Night time blabbering 190

Today was writing day. I can sadly say that it wasn't really good. Often, I was interrupted with some request, so I just made one more part to a novelette. It's some religious holiday today, so I wasn't working in the field or on the sheep hut. I thought I would have enough time to …
