Demons in the Den Update
Draft 1 is doooooone! 🥰🥰🥰 well, the first draft of the first arc. and I'm planning to add another 2 or 3 sides that happen during the arc, but don't really fit within the pacing of the chapters so I didn't count those and at least one of them is going to be in a different pov, so that'll be fun
but I can finally pause the grind for a day or two before heading back in for draft 2 (the rewrite) and those side stories.
maybe I can play a video game (still gotta finish Haven and Octopath 🙃) or I can read my stack of unread books (recently picked up Shadow and Bone, not knowing it was adapted by Netflix) or more than likely I'll go outline another wip or arc 2-
still can't believe I wrote a whole thing, from beginning to end and I'm hyped 👏 reminds me that I need to redo the wip intro
anyways, I'll leave some fun details (and the taglist) under the cut for your perusal 😊
cheers!
fun facts about draft 1:
word count: 58,859 (58,305 cleaned up)
page count: 157 (letter), 446 (5.5"x8.25")
written in 57 days, over 3 months, 1 week
over half of this thing (about 34k), I wrote in the last 3 weeks
top 3 names most mentioned: Aliah (570), Russell (224), and Milla (187)
least mentioned: Sarwick (10), Diana (11), and Felix (20)
I was going to name the demons all special names, but I couldn't, so I looked up their scientific names
Russell was supposed to die in chapter 1
I had an idea for an AU but I'm not used to those so I didn't write it down
I just remembered that Mara's sword is decorated with etches of flames on its blade
Mara mentions her master a few times, but never appears in arc 1
Mara's description doesn't come up often but: night black hair, blue eyes, slightly tanned skin, about 5'10/179cm (but I'm still thinking about the heights), left-handed
Aliah is also about 5'8/173cm
I wrote a side story where Mara takes in a fox as a pet
Bonnie and Clyde were placeholder names (I've mentioned this before)
I wrote the epilogue before ch12 and ch12 before ch11
everything came from the following one-liner:
A demon hunter vows to [a life of vengeance], with the help of a [demon] whose fallen in love with her.
okay that's enough facts
