Introducing my novel: Tales of Ghesanda
Howdy Howdy, today I want to share with you the novel that I am currently writing, titled “Tales of Ghesanda”, a southeast asian-inspired fantasy saga that hopefully spans at least one book. I am currently less than halfway through the first book, and realistically, this novel is not my top priority as I am a college student with other responsibilities, so, this will definitely take a while to complete. 
Sometime last year in September, an author from Dallas had a booth at a local farmer’s market on the weekend. I approached her and asked her for advice on how to start writing, and she said that all you need to do is to dedicate a small part of time each day for your story, whether that’s a word, a sentence, a paragraph, a page, or a chapter. This has always been my philosophy when approaching this novel, and I’d say I've made solid progress. 
I am to share updates on my novel on this blog as well as drop some story information as well as detailing my writing process for this story. I hope for it to be a fun adventure, and I can’t wait to both finish my first book and share it with you guys. 
In the spirit of National Novel Writing Month, here’s a brief introduction to Tales of Ghesanda:
Tumblr media
Welcome to Ghesanda, a great and ancient archipelago of a hundred-thousand islands and home to unimaginable amounts of wealth, splendor, and the many powerful spice kingdoms that rule these waters. 
The Ghesandanese archipelago is sandwiched between two great landmasses, Tvae Jira to its distant east, and Tvae Azah to the distant west. In this fantasy world, sugar has medicinal properties, the sweeter and purer that sugar is, the more potent its healing effects are. The Spice Kingdoms relied heavily on the sugar trade with these two continents, especially for a special type of sugar, aptly named “continental sugar”. 
Another unique phenomena in this fantasy world is what the Ghesandanese people call the “Rend Waters” a natural occurrence where roughly every one thousand years, a large ring of storms, raging currents, and strong waves encircles around the archipelago, cutting the islanders out from the outside world for roughly a hundred to two hundred years. No ship has made it past these waters, effectively blocking all trade and access the people of Ghesanda have to the sugar from both continents. Naturally, these periods of isolation consist of bloody wars and great turmoil.
And that leads us to our setting. The Sugar War has now lasted over a hundred years as the Spice Kingdoms battle for control over islands and resources, and while the people of Ghesanda suffer, they remain strong and resilient. This saga is a story of a devastating war, told through the lives of people who live in it, and a race to fulfill a prophecy to unite the archipelago.

I'm begging y'all to be sane. I get that it's exciting a show has got to 100 episodes and the show should celebrate that but also I need to be very clear (as someone who works in TV and has done for a fair amount of time), sometimes a big "milestone" episode are just a regular episode from a story perspective. Stop building it up to be something it probably won't be because the vitriol and ire that some of you have shown to the cast is frankly repugnant and you should be fucking ashamed of yourselves.
