...finally got around to reading this.... hahha sorry it took forever!
I love the world you are creating and feel excited to learn more about it,especially about how it got that way. The hidden history aspect is extremely similar but it seems the way the world looks in our stories is entirely different so those hidden histories will likely be very different stories as well. How far along are you? I just wrote 3 chapters before steemit came along, I was still focused on my collection of short stories which is 70% finished and which I should get back to.
And as far as whether it’s “good” or not, I’d use your own satisfactions with it as your main guide. If you love it, the right people will love it too!
lol no worries! we've all got busy lives ;-) I'm glad you got to check it out an you are excited to read more - I put out the chapter which leads up to this - https://steemit.com/fiction/@amariespeaks/another-chapter-from-my-novel-in-progress-impressions-and-advice-welcomed
and I think your advice is very wise - I'll keep that in mind.. I need to just let go of my "perfectionist" bar I hold so highly for myself and just be happy with it and be thankful for those who like it too :) easier said then done..lol
