So far it&#8217;s been a year of plans not quite coming together: I haven&#8217;t been doing much of anything towards Passable Media, and while I&#8217;m happy with <em>The Lost Tales<\/em> and am super thrilled to have something legitimately completed, I no longer think it&#8217;s the right format for several of the stories within it. With that in mind, I&#8217;ve decided to let Passable Media take a bit of a back seat for a few months&#8211; I&#8217;ll get back into it eventually, but I&#8217;m enjoying the downtime right now, and am choosing to focus on my writing instead. And as for what i&#8217;m working on writing-wise, I&#8217;m turning the Elem story from <em>The Lost Tales <\/em>into a full-length novel. Technically I have a trilogy (or possibly a duology) in mind, but for now that first novel is the focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s the first <em>Fractured <\/em>world I created, and the magic system that&#8217;s been the most cemented in my mind for the longest time, but I am realising now that I actually come to write it that it&#8217;s not as well thought out as I had originally thought. Big history ideas inspired by the likes of Sullivan and Sanderson are great and all, but if the magic system it&#8217;s all based on isn&#8217;t up to snuff then I can&#8217;t really expect it to get off the ground!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, worldbuilding then.
