The Story: I kept going with Garend in a class about the history of Newland today, which gave me a chance to put into words the ideas I’ve long had about the origins of certain elements in my world but never really written down. Though I still have some decisions to make about some of the details, this is giving me a chance to explore it, and it’s really helpful. And since I’m not drafting an actual story, I don’t mind staying here for a while.
