First draft of The Great Way finished

Standard

Yesterday, Saturday, I put in a 4,334 word day to wrap up the rough draft of my epic fantasy trilogy, The Great Way. I’ve even come up with a third title for the individual volumes:

The Way Into Chaos
The Way Into Magic
The Way Into Darkness.

If I were smart, I’d switch the last two around so the series order would be alphabetical order, too. We’ll see how smart I am.

Anyway, I had several long days in a row to reach the end, and I think it’s a bit odd for the end of an epic fantasy. I think it works for the overall story, but I’m used to seeing a clash of armies at the end of a fantasy trilogy and in this story there are no armies left.

But that’s me, immediately thinking of all the ways something is wrong. I think they’re good books, and they’ll be much better when I get a revision done.

The Kickstarter to pay for art, editing, and design will be coming soon. Maybe as soon as a couple of weeks. I just have to work out a few questions regarding time and money budgets and do the video.

Holy shit. Kickstarter. This is a scary new world for me.
