As a good business analyst who writes user stories and documentation for a living, I think it would be a nice practice to document this journey, the one I’m sailing through while writing a book.
Is it my first? No. That was more than 20 years ago, written in Chinese. It’s not even my second book. But I didn’t write about it back then, and now I think it would be nice to track every part of the process because it’s something that makes me happy.
The story genre… I believe it is an adult romantic fantasy in a secondary world, with political intrigue and a restrained fantasy texture…? But I will say, it started as a “smut romance” with an arranged marriage as a premise, and then evolved into a court plot, and then into a world plot, because my mind just works that way.
I currently have 15 chapters in my first draft. Let’s see how it goes.
