Dreams of Arkh

Abstract

This thesis has been primarily an experiment in the formation of habits. Much like an exercise regimen or a diet, the act of writing benefits the most from a little bit of work every day. This was a project that saw experimentation from me in scheduling and organization. I worked in multiple forms of mind maps and outlines as well as work in creative visualization and editing. The editing process for this novel and the corresponding thesis required a large personal commitment, not just by the author but also the people who tried to help with the creation of the of the novel as well. The time consumed was eye opening as far as a requirement for a project of this size, but also seems right on pace when compared to most successful writers, and that realization is heartening.
