yeah!! the scope was hilariously ambitious looking back now HAHAHA I think sometimes it's easy to get swept up in all of the ideas and I had grappled with the base of this idea for like over a year but could never quite make it work and then expanded too much. I think a lot would have to change--mainly going from a 'pantster' project to a 'planner' project as I've learned quite handily I am the latter!
Thank you for your kind words--I hope to come back to this project, probably with a lot more planning and culling, but in the future after I've created some other stuff! I think it's good to work on new ideas and new stories and this has helped me let go of the guilt of not working on this one.
Thank you so much about Untouched by the Frost by the way that's incredibly nice, you've always been very kind!!! I hope you have a wonderful new year!!
