Elven Liberation: Children of the Stars Epic Fantasy Writing Update!
I know it’s been almost a month since my last update, but don’t worry—I’ve been hard at work! Not only have I been writing, but I’ve also been tackling book formatting to make sure everything looks great before publishing. I don’t want to get too overwhelmed later! 😉
Here’s where my fantasy novel, Children of the Stars stands right now:
📖 Page count: 254 (paperback version)
✍️ Word count: 61,606 (probably 30k more to go, but we’ll see where the story takes me!)
📚 New chapters written: 18-22
- Chapter 18: Queen Yas’ka
- Chapters 19-20: Tran
- Chapter 21: Gor’del and Morkar
- Chapter 22: Sofina
I’m also testing out formatting for self-publishing on Amazon, including chapter fonts and layouts. Here’s a little sneak peek of what it might look like—fingers crossed that Amazon approves the fonts and layouts.
After the example, I’ll share some epic fantasy book excerpts from each chapter. As always, everything is subject to revision, but I’m excited to give you a glimpse into this high fantasy adventure full of magic, ancient lore, and legendary characters.
Stay tuned for more updates on this epic fantasy book series, Elven Liberation, and let me know—what are your thoughts on book formatting? Do you prefer a classic or more stylized look?
Fear overcame her as the true queen was the first to awake. “Who are you?” Yas’ka asked in panic. Unmar looked over and his sickly smile grew on his face. “Ah, my queen, it has been too long.” -Chapter 18
“Please, come and join us in the dining room,” Lady Remmer added, and they all followed her. Tran tried to keep a strong steady pace but found himself falling behind. The frustration of not being able to keep up made him self-conscious. Tran noticed Lord Graff looking behind him. He turned to his sister and signed something that Tran couldn’t make out due to the angle. A sigh came out of Lord Graff’s sister, and she stopped walking and waited for Tran. -Chapter 19
In future chapters, I may not put quotes. It’s getting too close to the end, and I don’t want to spoil anything.
