I was thinking that I was maybe 60% of the way through my first attempt at an original fantasy novel; but, on further consideration, I was really more like 80% finished.
The two main charm points of the story are:
- the eponymous demon king being stupid, and
- the demon king’s chemistry with the evil queen.
Everything else is largely irrelevant. If the two most interesting characters aren’t on the page and interacting with each other, of course the story isn’t going to be fun to write. I therefore reworked my outline of the remaining chapters to cut out everything that isn’t the good stuff. Now I only have five more chapters to write, including the one I’m currently finishing.
Also hooray for me for once again being 80% done with something and then leaving it unfinished. I read a post on Tumblr that said stopping 80% of the way through a project is incredibly common for ADHD people, and I’d like to ask the OP to stop breaking into my house and observing me in my own home.
