After recovering from being sick for seven days, I am rereading the 43k I wrote in this draft, summarizing each scene and noting the purpose of it. I am just 12 or so pages from finishing that. Once I finish that, I intend to build a rough outline for how I want to move from where I let off to where I will end the book.
It’s been nice to read it again and still think it’s worth keeping.
Here’s a little snippet I enjoyed on the reread:
“You are an idiot.”
Aaron turned to look at Halvar who sat in a chair he’d pulled up beside the bed.
“Good morning to you, too.”
“You don’t even drink alcohol, what were you thinking drinking a tonic in a world you know almost nothing about, called Star Nectar that smells like sugar and tastes like fire? It literally tastes like fire, Zuriel.”
“Yeah, I kinda remember that.”
“Do you remember anything else?” Halvar raised his eyebrow and leaned back with his arms crossed over his chest.
“No.” Aaron answered reluctantly.
