World Ember focus
For World Ember 2024, I'm going to focus on my world of The Magical University of Lille.
The story: set in an alternative 19th century France, it focuses on a lecturer at this university while she tries to get funding for her research and to keep her Chosen One student from getting killed by the Dark Lord.
My goal: I've been unsuccesfully trying for a few years to revised my second draft of this novel, so I need to take time to think properly about it and to build up again my motivation for that story.
My focus: So far, I have only written the introduction and an article about the university. For WE, I'm going to focus on characters and plot-related article.
