Hi everyone,

Thank you all for coming on this wild journey with me.

Writing a novel in the span of a moth (I have started New Paris on the 4th of April, so it has truly been a month for me) has been a wild ride. It has had its ups and downs, as I would put out up to 4k on some days, but nothing on others, but overall I did enjoy it. And hey, we made it to Rising Stars! You probably hear a lot of creators say stuff like that, but I really didn’t expect it. I thought my sub-genre was too nice to get on there, but who knew that contemporary litRPG would make it this far? Especially my unedited first draft, as about halfway through the story I realized that I had to focus on writing alone because editing was taking up too much time.

Now that Writathon is over, I will be returning my attention to my “main” story: Project Gaia. It’s a sci-fi adventure that I started for the RR community magazine, back in February, and have been updating weekly since. That story is more time consuming for me to write, mainly because I do edit before publishing, so I had to put it on hold while working on New Paris.

Does this mean that this series is over?

No.

I currently have 3 more volumes planned out for Laura and the rest of the cast. And I believe that number will only go up in the future. Although, I do wish to say that I have come up with a definite ending for my story. But getting there will be a process in of its own.

My plan is as follows: I will be releasing “bonus chapters” once or a few times a week for the next month or so, while I finish writing Project Gaia (I have fully planned out chapters and the ending of that story, so it really shouldn’t take more than a month, two at worst, to fully release). Once I’m done with Project Gaia, I will also return with more information about volume 2 of New Paris.

Bonus chapters will cover events from the story from the POV of different characters, some foreshadowing for the upcoming volumes (because writing from a single POV can be limiting in that aspect), and other slice of life scenes. If there are things you’d like to see, don’t hesitate to leave your ideas down below; for example, if there are some aspects of the world you’d like to see more of, or some characters whom you’d like to follow. The poll about what gift Laura should get Etienne in chapter 5, for example, will be fuel for one of these bonus chapters.

Thank you once again for being an awesome group of readers, and a special thanks to ChocolateMintChipmunk and Paul TB who have been catching my typos since day 1.

See you very soon.

Cheers,

Eve.
