What're ya'll writing?

A BOOK SET IN 3075 IT'S STRESSFUL Y'ALL I HAVE TO COME UP WITH MADE UP NAMES FOR TECH AND PLANES AND I HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE AND I'M SUPER OVERCRITICAL AND HAVE STARTED OVER ABOUT 50 TIMES ALREADY AND AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I KNOW THE FEEL

I finally, finally, finally have the plot sorted out for one of my stories. I don't normally come up with my characters without first having a story thought out first but that was what happened this time. There's still a few things that need work, like I don't have some of the backstories of the characters figured out, and the antagonists don't have a motive (yet). But I'm really excited to start working on it because I love the characters, but I've been sitting on them for nearly a year because I had no story for them.

I'm pretty excited for the world building too because it's a fantasy, but it's pretty different from other stuff that I've read and written in the past. It's a little more modern, but a lot of the stuff that makes it modern is stems from magic. The government is also unique to the story. All my other stories just have monarchies (and the only one that doesn't takes place in modern day Canada) so it's been neat trying to come up with my own government system. The world itself is based heavily on Costa Rica. I was visiting last year and it's such a neat place. I thought it would make for a cool setting, especially in a fantasy.

Update on my book. I just figured out that I have to figure out why the main villain blew up over half of America………

I'm t r y i n g to figure out my "protagonist's" place in the story because right now I'm starting to think he can't be the protagonist… i am confusion

Wow I know the feel
