I kept writing book 4 of the series (first three published) and at 280,000 words I simple started dividing it into last four books via scrivener. Was too myopic to see this way through

I’m looking for articles covering people who are encouraging the armed forces TO follow illegal orders.

With the city darkened and everyone leaving Carol’s neighborhood, maybe the live in barracks and eat in mess halls. When they’re out and about, they look and dress like individuals.

They let all the animals out of the zoo. The jackals will have a feast.

I recall the wild herds in IAL and the hunting our main character did.

As much as I love Kurosawa, from what I see, it’s set about 400 to 500 years ago. Heian Japan is closer to 900 years ago. The World of the Shining Prince is/was very different. No geisha. No sushi (as we know it). No Kabuki. No Noh. No ritual seppuku.

Free genealogy software usually works for under 250 characters, but I exceeded that. Still, the structure the chart provided was helpful and simpler than timeline software.

My characters are a heavy dose of historic Japanese people sprinkled with legends like Tomoe Gozen and Yamabuki. I found the free, online, genealogy software (WE WANT YOUR DNA! BUY OUR KIT!) is a way to intermix historic characters.

I love my word processing software. Strangely, as a supplement to it, I am using paper, pencil, and eraser to write because my high speed writing brain slows to 7/8th speed and what’s written is less precious. Not cast in concrete and I erase more easily.
