My writing process + Long Live the Queen Update

| Chinesebun

Hey guys, so, if you’ve seen my post Long Live the Queen, you know that I am writing an original YA fantasy novel called Long Live the Queen!  In my aforementioned post, I shared the characters, a bit of info about the world, and how I came up with a few of the ideas.  TL;DR – it’s going great!
