Hi Gang!  Thanks for all the interest, tweets, comments and general support.  What a week this has been.  I’ve been working on Drago Siege and Chapter 3 was really getting to be heavy going and I just couldn’t figure out why.  I was scratching my head over it and I ran across some advice by another author that said (basically) when things get impossibly hard - you’ve probably taken a wrong turn somewhere and it is more than likely in regards to lack of foundation or research.  Sure enough, once I thought about it I realized the characters had not been built out enough in my head - so they were all over the place.  Plus, this is my first fantasy full novel, and worldbuilding is going to take some, well, BUILDING.  So that’s what I have done.  Been taking notes on who the characters are (in my mind) and what the rules are in the world they live in.  And FYI - I don’t plan on doing any funding until late in the fall (when the 2nd draft is completed).  Right now I just want to start getting feedback from people  etc.  Thanks for all your input and keep it coming!
