Wrap Up Post
I am both happy and terrified to be done with UL3, happy because it was a long serial but terrified because I'm not working on a new serial. I mean...I have as an outline for FZAFSOAAWA but I haven't been able to write anything.
I have roughly 50,000 words in novellas so I'm just going to roll with that for a while and see where I land at the end. Pink Frosting will be the shortest novella at about 9,000 words.
Loose Ends
There is a lot of open endedness in the ending of United Light 3. The character ending I struggled with the most was Elisa's. When I first started thinking about UL3 I had toyed with the idea of Elisa and Rosa being a couple. A lot of you had commented on their closeness and it kind of made sense but as I started writing I realized I also maybe wanted to rekindle Sawyer and Elisa.
Subtextually I kind of went with Sawyer/Elisa as more of the potential couple. I just think Rosa would want to be with someone who isn't part of the UL situation.
Name Game
The only other thing I really want to share is that when coming up for names for Baby Clark II. I knew I wanted something like Jocelyn's names so I put her name into Nameberry's Name Generator as an inspiration names and it spat out the names of 4 of my female characters. I just thought this was funny
- Julianna
- Macy
- Savannah
- Elise (which is kinda like Elisa)
Speaking of names, I wrote Pink Frostings well before I wrote in Juliana's second pregnancy. So, I knew Mason had a sibling and I'd just arbitrarily named her Spencer thinking I'd change it later but I got attached to it.
Also, Mason's name was Connor up until the last minute, but I didn't like the hard R sound.
Moving On
Okay, so I'm not ready to debut the new novella but I do want to share this super silly little meta thing I wrote:
