Ryan SouthwickYesterday was zero writing, all "where is the story going next?"
Fortunately, I figured it out. =]
Onward!

Wrote 2,600 words over the last 2 days after a long drought. It felt goooooood.

“You were right,” Fi said loud enough that the suffocating woman would hear. “Our behaviors are guideposts for others. You sent a child across the galaxy to die alone. You deprived your people of a Straala to protect them from the other factions. The Kaitet may not believe in capital punishment, but the Federated Nations does—and you, E’Uma’Kemechasa, are in Federated Nations domain."
- Snippet from my WIP: Peleos (Timeless Keeper Saga Book 3)
Halfway through my WIP and just realized the supporting characters are boring. Gonna spice them up before continuing.

First chapter of Book 3 of the Timeless Keeper Saga done! This is a milestone because some elements of the book are hard science fiction, dealing with a near-future Mars colony (although I will stay light on the details), which required a lot of research before I felt I could even start. Hopefully the effort will pay off!

Started outlining Book 3 of the #TimelessKeeper Saga this morning. First thing I usually do (especially with a sequel) is bullet-list the subplots I want to cover.
21 identified so far.
Wish me luck. 😅

#WritingWonders Day 30: Does your MC have a good fashion sense?
No better or worse than anyone else in Holtondome. Providers embrace simple lifestyle, without luxury or extravagance. “Fashion” doesn’t harvest the crops to feed their loved ones and other domes in the Federated Nations who depend on the fruits of their hard labor.
Yesssss!!! The final draft of New Denver is complete! Time to celebrate with an afternoon treat. 😂
Only steps left are to compile the ebooks, format the print version, upload to retailers, and distribute the ARC to the team.
Aug 15, here we come!

#WritingWonders Day 29: Antagonist POV: How do you feel about what you do?
CAPTAIN BHARTA: It’s necessary for the survival of our species. My role as a Fed is to ensure that Cities, Traders, and especially Providers adhere to the Pact. Without the Pact, there is no balance. No purpose! The world would inevitably descend into the same selfish, technology-driven chaos that caused the Fall. That won’t happen on my watch, no matter how many Provider arms I have to twist.
#WritingWonders Day 28: Is your MC ever minorly inconvenienced with illness?
No. However, he’s blind in one eye (not because of illness), which does cause a bit of a problem early in the story, and is the primary reason he’s socially isolated from the rest of the dome.
