> Any progress on your novel?

I actually finished my word count a few days ago, 55,000 words, the first time I've ever done that for a novel. I've had this one brewing in my head for three fucking years, it's time to come out. My writing process has been like this:

Write up outline, figure out word count > vomit out the words needed for narrative structure and word count from outline, though not necessarily in polished sentences > polish up the vomit, fashion a sound first draft > revise from there

I've actually posted a piece of it in critique threads before, here's the basic storyline for the first in my planned trilogy, called Kid Demiurge:


> disgruntled anon who is an intel analyst for the US army goes full Persiaboo, sets off a chain of events with his knowledge which throws Iran into color-revolution mode and transcends into another reality by doing so
> narrative style is a mix of classical Iranian literature and a contemporary spy novel


Can't wait, I'll be shilling on Amazon and probably here once finished. I also want to commission some artwork, and it won't be bullshit money either, more than most I've seen commission... I'm aiming for something between Beardsley and Jean de Bosschère for the illustrations, I wanted to hit up the drawfags at /ic/, but idk if they'll bite, anyone have tips for negotiating this?
