Hey guys! This will be another short post; sorry about that! I'm almost done with Chapter 2 in The Hunt for Ruin; a couple more things need to happen, then it's on to Chapter 3! My friend is working on the book covers for my novellas and I can't wait to see them! I don't remember if I mentioned this or not, but I found the first version of The Thieves and the Unicorn tucked away on my flash drive! The first version of it has no title (though I would most likely have either called it Aster, The Mysterious Charge, or the Wizards and the Unicorn) and is about a girl a wizard and his apprentice save from slave traders. It was set in Lorn, the very first version of Aamira.
The Thieves and the Unicorn is set in Aamira and is about two honorable thieves (they despise the life they lead and wish to change it) who meet a young girl traveling with a famous wizard thought to be dead by the world. The wizard pays the thieves to take the girl to an acquaintance of his, who has promised to help keep her safe from an evil warlock (because what good fantasy novel doesn't have an evil warlock in it). The two novels are different and yet the same. I plan to write both and publish them, though I don't know if I plan to publish them together or as separate novels (probably the latter. Maybe I'll do a bundle sale). I made a copy of the original story and plan to polish up the copy. I love how different the story is when two different pairs of characters are the stars! It's fundamentally the same story, but it can go so many different ways; that's awesome!
Alright, enough about me raving about writing and how a story changes based on who's narrating it. It's late and I'm pretty tired. Don't forget to comment (still wanting to know which book y'all think will be finished first) and I'm still looking for a title for A Tale as Old as Time! Stay determined and remember: Laughter is the best medicine!
