The Eternal Art
In February 2024, I started a fantasy fiction serial on Substack, called The Eternal Art.
I didn’t have any kind of plan at the beginning. I just started. And “just starting” was the impetus to keep going. I soon “found” a plan, week to week, episode by episode.
After a couple of months, I did have a plan, and a very rough outline for several future arcs of the story. By this point, I had realized who my main character was, and how he was connected to my Main Story.
SIDEBAR
The main story is a (mostly unwritten) 15-volume Epic Fantasy Saga. I’ve been working on the story world, in some capacity, since 2004. That’s 20 years. The main character in The Eternal Art is a secondary character in the Saga. But knowing who he BECOMES, I found it really interesting to discover who he WAS, and HOW he becomes his future self.
