Anyway, YA two friends in search of ones dad who gets taken by the Scourge, inter-dimensional pirates who enslave or destroy Earth in various dimensions in order to fulfil their quest for complete domination. (Hey who wouldn't?) All Sam wants is her Dad back and if they save existence along the way that has to be good right? Having fun (read as huge amounts of struggle) voicing characters who exist in multiple dims and can be involved in three or four way conversations with themselves. As I said, Fun. Thanks again for your blog and all the great advice.Axel Francisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-46185626319640526232015-06-08T14:42:11.799-07:002015-06-08T14:42:11.799-07:00Wow-- sounds like you're super busy!

I started NaNoWriMo with it, got 50k words and now, months later. I've passed 100k words and am nowhere near the end. Editing is gonna be hell. <br /><br />I'm so jealous of your revision progress! After I'm done with the sci-fi, I'm going to start revisions on my urban fantasy book. I finished the first draft last year and didn't know how to revise it, but the long break has helped in analyzing what needs to change. I can't wait to jump back in--I'm gonna be rewriting and altering so much. It's going to be tough, but it's going to be great.Darth Lolitahttp://enkindledwithchains.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-50836321551911824352015-06-08T06:23:19.128-07:002015-06-08T06:23:19.128-07:00I'm working on my YA post-apocalyptic novel BL...I'm working on my YA post-apocalyptic novel BLOOD AND WATER.

It's setting is loosely based on Bhutan -- where I went over Christmas with GQ protagonists. I haven't had nearly as much time to work on it recently as I'd like, which fills me with sadness because I'm in love with this WIP.
