Thank you everyone for reading Macha's Journey. If you haven't traveled to ******* with me, I wish you did but understand that it might be a ha.s.sle to read your free chapter over there. Either way, thank you for reading the story. Today marks the 1 year anniversary for Macha's Journey. Time sure flies! A year ago I never would have thought that I would be doing what I'm doing.

Since this is a special anniversary post, I figured I'd share my favorite moment. Out of all the adventures that I've written so far, I would have to say that my favorite was actually the story about the tik-tik. That was fun to write about. I liked how it mirrored Aži's mouse-tank and also brought up the question of what a monster really is.

My favorite side story (I actually like those more usually) is a bit harder for me to think of. I would say that the Hrod one was the funnest for me to write. I liked thinking about their past and what made them fall in love after all those years of being married. I liked that it also helped to develop Hymir as a person since he died so early in the story.

As of now, I don't have a favorite character. I have a least favorite. That would be Ivan Mikhailov. He was the man who tried to kill Tyr and Macha back during the Masquerade. I don't like him because I need to think how to develop him better as a character. I'm a bit stuck on him. I want him to have more dimensions. He will come back later though.

Anyway, what are some of your favorite moments or characters? I'd love to read it in the comments below! Happy 1 year to us all since you guys also help influence me as a writer.
