About The Raven Saga
The Raven Saga is well, it's well, just that a saga. It started out as a bunch of random scribbles one night while working the late shift of my job back in 2013 and one of the other workers happened to pick it up and read it while I served a customer that came in. When I got back to the counter where I had left the pages of scribble she looked at me like I had an extra head or something because I had never mentioned I liked to write. She then told me it was good and asked if I was going to continue with it.
That question scared me a little, I had never really continued any of my short stories or scribbles for that matter for more than a few pages and wondered if I should continue it.
I went home that night with a few questions on my mind, did I like writing that much to stick with it, could these few words really become something more, could I make something wonderful from something I had failed in the past (I mean my writing is horrible at the best of times)
But despite all those questions and some internalised debate that lasted at least two days, a week and half later I had actually developed an entire plot not just for one story but a whole series, I had character profiles and plots and subplots and settings and an rough idea on where I wanted to take my characters turning the plot developments.
That moment was the defining point in The Raven Saga, it was, will and is happening.
Now lets look at more interesting things like say, The Saga itself.
The Raven Saga follows the journey of a woman who has to face both her past and her future if she wants to survive a fight she isn't really aware she's actually fighting.
The Main Character and one of a few main protagonists in the series is a rather complicated woman whose goal really is to find the truth and survive i guess but I think that's a given really. I'd like to think she'd make a good role model for young girls and women because of her belief in herself and her own journey to that (I mean she faces and has faced some serious hardships and obstacles to reach the point she had by the last... uh... instalments?)
I'll go into more detail about the characters in another post (or few...) but other than our leading lady there is also of course a leading man.
In the beginning the leading man our other MC is the antagonist who is trying to stop our Lady MC from achieving her goals and like the Lady MC he himself has faced some hardships and obstacles to reach where he is in life (one of those being the Lady MC but who's really gonna blame her when he got in her way)
Aside from these two there is a whole cast of characters that pop up through the series both friends and allies of the two and the enemies they face.
I tried to break from the norm really of writing fiction where it's concise broken down into short punches that deliver the action hard (I mean I did try but whatever) and instead focused on the drama and the personal, basically there are feelings LOTS AND LOTS of feelings with you know fighting and action sprinkled in like choc chips and honestly I am more than sure it gets boring at some points but you know... (whatever)
So if this grabs read the other posts and if what your looking for isn't there then hit me up with a comment and I'll try to answer what I can.
PS. this will be the first time the world or uh... cyber space sees anything I've ever written and I am totally ready for the critiques to rip me apart I mean, bring it on bitches.
PPS. If my high school English teacher is still alive and some how managers to stumble her bitch ass onto this blog I'd just like to say, where is your 'You are going to fail this English class' now bitch.
