Super advice here. It’s challenging to develop something that makes sense within the novel’s future/alternate/fantasy structure. As part of doing this, I’ve taken to ancient languages and then modify them by one or two letter changes, As always, keeping up with decisions is a challenge. I keep a novel bible for that. The bible for ‘Long Summer’, sequel to ‘Returnee’, is 7,000 words, all in outline form.

It might not all be the same Michael Seidel. There are several writers using this name. I probably should use a pseudonym but it’s late in the game to address it now.

Maybe add a middle initial and retag your books? Should be easy to do without upheaval right?
