My current writing project has the working-title of 'Dreams of Taliesyn.'

In terms of genre it is in the realm of magical realism/contemporary fiction.

It will be a story in three acts set in a (fictional) remote mountain-town, called Taliesyn.

There is going to be three main characters - or, at least, three point-of-view characters, that are all drawn to Taliesyn for various reasons.😀

Taliesyn is a place of unrest, and great conflict lurks on the horizon, with various factions contending for power, and influence.

In terms of my progress, I have finished the first draft of the first two acts, and I am currently writing chapter three, of the third act.

In terms of manuscript-pages, I have written about 350 pages. My estimation is, that I will end up with about 450-500 manuscript pages, if all goes all planned.😬

 

This is an overview of the act and chapter titles, as the currently are named. Note, that these are all subject to change, as I might change my mind during the creative process. 😄
