Drafting

I've recently started planning a new fantasy story, a four-part series called The Dust Saga. I don't know very much yet, but I do know the names of the books. They are as follows:

1. A Girl of Dark and Dust
2. The Sword of Light and Dust
3. Gates of Iron and Dust
4. A Boy of Marsh and Dust

Okay so the articles are not set on stone yet. A, the, or without altogether; English isn't my first language and I'm going to have to think about what sounds right and doesn't victimize grammar.

Anyway, the story follows a girl named Nia, who is travelling through this fantasy land with a changing companion. She might be alone in the first book, I'm not sure yet, but in the second and third she's travelling with another girl. Her name is Nesa. In the fourth book she meets the Marsh Boy, named Bash, and travels with him through the marsh.

This is all vague planning and things might change but this is what it looks like now. I've written one excerpt from the fourth book with Nia and Bash and it's very bad, but it's a start. I don't know very much anything at all about the overall plot or even the plots of individual books, and the only thing I know about the world The Dust Saga is set in is that it is completely separate from our world - so, high fantasy coming your way.

I'll probably update my progress here on an unregular basis, and possibly also publish some actual text when I have something that isn't total rubbish. I'm sorry that there's none this time, but as stated previously, I only have one scene and I wouldn't show it to anybody.

I hope you're at least half as excited as I am!
