The Lashival Trilogy - Book 1- The Ilmarians

[riki]

In the complete version, which will be available after I finish with everything. ^^

A quick question: What do you want me to include in the Author's Notes? Anything you guys are curious about that you want explained? ^^

I think if anything, I'm interested in the process in which you come up with character names and such. I know you've discussed it before somewhere. Also, just your general thoughts when writing particular scenes or chapters would be nice to know imo.

 

[riki]

Gotcha

Hmm... I'm putting them in this order:

• Introduction
• Naming Characters
• The Ilmarians
• Gods' Blessing
• Descriptions of the Ilmarians
• The Shuvyral
• The Wisps
• Chapters Explanation

Does that order sound fine? I'm trying to figure that part out.

The hidden worlds info will be in the second book in case you're wondering. ^^

 

[goldb]

That all sounds good, I look forward to them already. Do you have an estimated time of completion for this first book? Cos I know you're also working on the second book and have other ideas in the pipeline.

 

[riki]

LOL I'm still writing about Kejuta's story.

 

[Farfalla]

Riki! Ok, Hessin is my the second char I enjoy the most XD And I have the feeling that I'll like the next one a lot as well.

About the questions... maybe you could share a bit about the inspirations you got to create the characters, specially the Ilmarians, with their characters and stuff, and if there are authors that you look up to^^ Also, do you plan on sketching a world map for Samara?

 

[riki]

Unfortunately no sketch so you guys have to use your imagination

 

[Farfalla]

Awnnn xD

 

[TheBoss]

Unfortunately no sketch so you guys have to use your imagination

But you could do it for us if you had the time dont you?

 

[riki]

I'm not good in map making though.

Oh, do you guys want me to PM you the second version? It has everything except for the Author's Notes.

 

[goldb]

Don't I recall you making of something for the Ilmarians book?

No hurry, riki. Just post here once you've got everything done or PM; don't have a preference, really

 

[riki]

I'm not satisfied with the results tbh.

So finicky.

Man, I need to go back to writing the second book. I don't want to neglect it.

Hmmmm maybe you could work together with one of MH's artists to add some gloss to your map sketches? Maybe.

I'm not finicky

Yeah, I was about to tell you the same thing

 

[riki]

Why are you holding that baton?

So I finalized the Author's Notes format. Here is what it looks like:

• Introduction
• Creating Names
• Ilmarians
• Gods' Blessing
• Ceraphilis Flowers
• Characters
  
  Spoiler: if you haven't read the last three chapters

  • The Three Manipulators (Kejuta, Resphyr, and Shintra)
  • The Ilmarians of Life and Death (Adia and Pendance)
  • Magic, Time, and World (Aundra, Brenton, Marika)
  • The Ilmarians of Natural Occurrences (Lanskas, Oraji, Zentran)
  • The Three Judges (Alethea, Hessin, Torryn & Weiss)
• The Shuryval
• The Wisps
• Souls
• The Ilmarians' Stories
• My Inspirations

 

[goldb]

To get you to focus on the task at hand, missy

I like that format and it covers everything I can currently think of. Looking forward to reading it.

At this rate, I think the first book should be done in one-two months depending on my schedule~

 

[TheBoss]

Then I'll be able to say that I met that famous writer, before she was famous

Whatever gets the results.

No hurry, really; take your time.

Just a quick update:

I'm almost finished writing about the characters and will write about the chapters next. When I finished with that, the book is complete.
