Hey lady! Just checking in to inquire about how that fantasy novel is going! How far are you along? You know this is our last year to get that first book done! :B I can't believe we're already over half way.
Ais
Hey lovely! Thank you for your interest <3 It's doing okay! I am the slowest loris in the writing zoo so I keep getting distracted and/or bored in the writing of it and pause. But part of that is because, being me, this thing is complicated as hell and I have to keep stopping to double check multiple note collections to make sure I have the details right. Right now I'm on chapter 9 which doesn't sound far but I made stupid long chapters, so that equates to 103,000 words. I had a plan for how far this would go in the plot but all the stuff leading up to that is taking longer than I expected, so now I actually don't know how far I'll go before I finish the book. I already know it's part of a series so it's not the end of the world to put some of the plot in the second book. It's mostly a question of mechanics.
One problem is I haven't yet done a full chapter summary write-up, which is probably really dumb and part of what makes me slow and periodically bored. But every time I go to write it I'm like OMG TOO COMPLICATED and just go back to writing chapters as I'm interested. Not the smartest way to go about this, I know lol In fact, probably the stupidest way. sigh -_-
I feel like I need to be further along and much more dedicated if I actually want to meet my self-imposed deadline. And yet, knowing that, I keep dinking around watching X-Files on Netflix or reading manga or whatever. So I'm glad you asked and you should feel free to ask again because man, we need to keep in touch more to keep ourselves on track lol Thanks for asking! You got me to stop watching X-Files and focus.
How are you doing?

Hi Ais ! I read ICOS back in 2013 and to this day it's still the best I've read. Thank you ( and Sonny of course) for making this happen! knowing that ICOS exists makes my life beautiful. My question for you is: Which characters of ICOS did you write? I mean I've read Santino's recent works and I can confidently say that I recognized Boyd(<3) and Emilio(<3) and maybe even Hsin (<3).

I have just finished devouring absolutely anything iCoS related (and i freaking adored every single word, thank you for everything), so please please please tell me that the sequel (after 1/27) is on its way!!!I'm not asking for anything specific, just a rough estimate maybe? I absolutely need just a small glimmer of hope to be able to move on with my life:)
