I&#8217;ve been putting up chapters for a week, aiming for around 2,000 words each and trying to end on mini cliff hangers. It is a fun, fresh way to get my work into the world, and I&#8217;ve been delighted to reconnect with some readers I&#8217;ve known from my earlier works.<\/p>\n<p>Since Wattpad allows images and videos to be included with chapters, this is also a new element for me. I&#8217;m exploring with <a href=\"https:\/\/procreate.art\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Procreate<\/a> on my ipad, drawing scenes and details from the novel. So far, the Cathedral Forest is my favorite. I drew a lot as a teenager, and using an ipad now is like discovering a completely new medium. It&#8217;s all about the layers. Thank goodness for Youtube videos for tips and techniques.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to see what I&#8217;m up to, drop by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wattpad.com\/story\/272838944-ari-milo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wattpad here<\/a>.
