Okay.

I mean, I think so with Kingdom of Lies, like writing the Medina kind of, that was all within the same sort of world.

So that helped.

It was really just an expansion of that one.

With this book, it was, I think I had started sort of, you know, building it in my mind while I was writing Kingdom of Lies.

So it just was always very separate and distinct.

So Kingdom of Lies was written in first past and then, yeah,

I started writing this book, which is first present, first present tense.

And so...

At the same time, I had to begin, as I was sort of doing edits, I had to begin the Medinia book.

And that whole world is in, like it was first present, right?

Sorry, first pass.

So I was thinking, oh, it's okay, I'll go back and forth.

That was actually the hardest part.

So I ended up switching and writing Medinia in first present because there was no way that I could kind of like keep going back between them.

That was actually the trickiest part.

Yeah, if you're like writing something or like editing something, especially for me, and then I go to do something that's in a different tense, like it's just frustrating because I just find myself like, you know, missing out a lot.

Kind of, but I feel like I also have other ideas for other stuff too.

Do you know what I mean?

So I would, I feel like I would finish the trilogy and then unless something is like eating at me and I need to write something within it, I would write something else and then potentially come back.
