After finally realizing that an epic fantasy piece I had been working on for years was really going no where I scrapped all of the work I had (I still have it, it's just packed away with a few other story concepts). I took quite a few months off from big overarching writing pieces, but recently I have been throwing around concepts mostly character concepts for an epic fantasy piece. I learned a lot from my earlier attempts and I'm ready to go again. My goal this time is scope. Last time I went completely unhinged and ended up with literally 100's of characters, spaces, moments, and small texts that were so unbelievably trivial that it bogged me down mentally and emotionally. This time I'm going into this to tell the story of a character in a cool world. After that is done I figure I can unhinge myself after I've told my story.
