Redundancies, Unnecessary Repeats, and “hey, those are the same!”

May you be well! (It’s May now)

Hey folks. I’ve been busy editing my book! I’m a little over 2/3rds done with it (pre-ARC/pre-editorial laser strike). I’ve been making a lot of minor tweaks to it, both to the immediate characters/setting and the overall world/lore. One of those is one that in hindsight seems kinda obvious.

So, to run over it briefly, the human setting within my book, Ihmina, is cut into three large chunks — this book/series focuses on the north-most chunk, known as the Greater Spiral, and the fallout of a war that spanned much of it. Initially, the war was ended with two subsequent events: a nuclear bombing and a follow-up detonation as a result of a newly-awakened Goddess. I’m rolling these two things into a single event and combining the effects. It’s required a decent amount of tweaking to account for, but I think it makes more sense, rather than have two similar events as a double-whammy.

See? I thought I was being clever with this month’s blog name. I redundantly named it redundancies, redundancies, and redundancies. (I know you can read, I know you have good media literacy, but I’m kind of proud of it, sorry).

With that, I’m making decent headway on revamping the website too. Those should be ready pretty soon! Stay tuned for more, and stay safe y’all.
