Thus I needed something easy and I&#8217;ve been wanting to participate in at least one part of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/2018\/12\/know-novel-part-3-writing-and-beyond.html\">Christine&#8217;s<\/a>&nbsp;linkup, so here we are. I&#8217;ll be answering questions for my steampunk fantasy novels&nbsp;<i>Silver Hood<\/i>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<i>Black Hood<\/i>&nbsp;both of which I worked on for NaNo. Let&#8217;s get started!<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><\/span><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<!-- more --><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\">1. Firstly, how did writing this novel go all around?<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">For both, I feel like I wrote a lot slower than past years. Maybe it\u2019s because I was glancing at outlines a lot but before I\u2019ve been able to hit like 500 words in ten minutes but this year I hit 400 words in ten minutes like once and averaged at like 300.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><i>Silver Hood<\/i>: I really did not like the first draft. I felt like it was mostly trash. I just didn\u2019t like how the characters acted. I kept trying to push them into boxes they didn\u2019t want to go into. And the plot had lots of parts I didn\u2019t like so I feel like in this draft I tapped into the characters much more and made the plot way more coherent.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><i>Black Hood<\/i>: I haven\u2019t finished this book yet though I\u2019m getting close. It\u2019s different than I expected but I like it better than&nbsp;<i>Silver Hood<\/i>\u2019s first draft definitely.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\">2. Did it turn out like you expected or completely different? And how do you feel about the outcome?<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">Both have definitely turned out well. They still need a lot A LOT of smoothing out but overall I\u2019m pretty satisfied.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\">3. What aspect of the story did you love writing about the most? (Characters, plot, setting, prose, etc.)<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">The worldbuilding was really fun. In&nbsp;<i>Silver Hood<\/i>. I like seeing more of Isriki since the first book focused on Silfurlund and in&nbsp;<i>Black Hood<\/i>, the story spends a lot of time in a barren region the complete opposite of the former. The religion definitely developed a lot and though I\u2019m intending to put this in the general market, I\u2019m seeing some Christian elements subtly come through. Some angels even found their way in there.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"768\" data-original-width=\"1152\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/spring-cacti-in-yellow-pink-blooms-near-phoenix-arizona.jpg?resize=640%2C426\" width=\"640\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\">4.

XD I had to add new material that needs to be smoothed over to fit into the story and I realized some more scenes that need to be added.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\">5. What do you feel like needs the most work?<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">The prose in general. It\u2019s just chunky and I know I didn\u2019t describe enough in many areas and said: \u201cthey did ____.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\">6. How do you feel about your characters now that the novel is done? Who\u2019s your favorite? Least favorite? Anyone surprise you? Give us all the details!<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">Well, I definitely want to make more time for character development scenes. I\u2019ve been so paranoid about writing fluff that now I feel like I need more character scenes instead of just plot plot plot. But Claes is a darling as always and I like how Sonne is developing in this book. And Einer is such a&nbsp;grumpster&nbsp;but he\u2019s really amusing to write. It\u2019s hard to pick a favorite. XD&nbsp;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">I like Mor\u2019s arc a lot. She\u2019s changed so much&nbsp;than&nbsp;she was in the first book and I\u2019m happy that change is so evident. I had a friend say she\u2019s a \u201crescue doggo.\u201d She really is. Mor\u2019s spirit animal is a Saint Bernard. She has to save everyone and keep them safe. Once she makes a promise to do something she\u2019ll do it or die trying.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">Claes is my damaged Great Pyrenees. He\u2019s fluffy and kind. Sonne is a White Labrador retriever. She\u2019s energetic and steadfast. And Einer is a borzoi that didn\u2019t grow up in a good home. Lots of sharp edges and snarly.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">How did this evolve into comparing my characters to dogs?<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">&#8230; I&#8217;m not even a dog person.<\/p>\n<p>*shrugs*<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1600\" data-original-width=\"1600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/BlackHoodDogCollage.png?resize=400%2C400\" width=\"400\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">7.
