FIVE chapters left to edit in Book-5.
It’s crazy, but I began worldbuilding Carrdia and writing its first story simultaneously, including realizing I needed at least a preliminary map.
I grabbed a scrap sheet of paper, flipped it over, and went wild sketching. At least 85% of that map endured.
What would’ve happened to my stories, I wonder, if I’d sketched a different map?
Be everwell.

I miss mapmaking and have been reviewing old ones. The original Tremjara map is from 2002 (created in Paint). Dimensions: 754 x 531 pixels.
The 2020 Tremjara map’s dimensions: 4800 x 3200 pixels.
If you zoom in on the old map it blurs immediately. That land maze in the NW? Scrapped in 2003. The color palette was severely limited.
Be everwell.

Challenge #04832-M083: Last Will
The family fought bitterly over the box. It was beautiful, looking as though it were covered in gold and gems. They felt for certain whomever inherited it would find wealth within. The youngest two siblings asked only for the small wooden box that had been left out in the rain by the woodshed. The youngest two would never go hungry again. -- Fighting FitThe jocular saying goes, "Where there's a will, there's an angry relative." It could not be more true in well-to-do families. The arguments over money, property, and treasured little gewgaws can drag on long before the head of the family shows any sign of decline.EIGHT chapters left to edit in Book-5!
I was the teen who never revised in school, though, in those days I had to rewrite papers by hand. I detested doing that, so I endured the red ink.
Now, I have to guard against over-editing, placing word efficiency ahead of readability. It’s the battle between my practical and creative sides.
It’s my practical side that plans and organizes.
Be everwell.

Challenge #04831-M082: The Ultimate Choice
There are four crowns here. Gold and gem gives glory. Silver gives power and wealth. Red wrapped with gems, gold, and silver gives fame and influence. The little wooden crown, plain and unadorned, gives the power of kindness and the ability to heal, though you may never know fame or wealth. Be warned, three are paths to sorrow, one is a path to peace, choose wisely. -- Anon GuestThrough dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, the hero had fought their way to the final chamber in the Labyrinth of Four Crowns.NINE chapters left to edit in Book-5!
After, there’s a novella to edit. They’ll be published together after Book-4.
Why? The novella, Trellis House, serves as a bridge between Books 4 and 6. Confused yet?
On the timeline, Book-5 occurs simultaneously with Book-2, but would spoil Book-4 if published sooner. So, the series steps back, then moves ahead with the novella.
Be everwell.
