I say current arc because I have plotted out another (4 more books) and have 1 or 2 more in my head. But the first series and first arc will be complete at month’s end. I am striving to
This is my take on how my writing tells a story. When it comes to the how of storytelling, I think most people consider perspective and tense first.
