First Book Progress Logbook

I had always been thinking about turning to writing. I had also been looking for a hobby. So I merge both of them have started taking up writing as my hobby. I have a few stories of my own to tale, so I though how about I write a book ?

In lieu of this I have begun on my first epic saga. It will be fantasy novel. I want to make this a light reading novel, targetted towards general fantasy lovers. The novel will have sound basis of science but I will make certain extrapolations and interpretations which will not be liked by my scientist friends but will be crucial for the story!

(Note: Agents, Editors and Publishers are wlecome to contact me. I will be happy to negotiate one-on-one regarding final publication. You may keep track of progress below.)

I have started this logue to capture the development:

Title: Working Title Locked
Characters: Main Characters created, some secondary ones as well, I will keep adding as the story develops

Overall story line: 80 % build
Book 1 storyline: 76 % build
Later Books - 3 or 4 books in total (depending how broad my world becomes)

Book 1 writing: 
Completion: 12 %
Writing Playlist: Created
General Comments/Updates:
1) April 2016: Started working general skeleton and Characters of the story
2) 4th May 2016: I have moved to Frankfurt and near about areas, so I may focus on my story and push that writing bar higher. Also a change of scene is good for disconnecting from work.
3) 5th May 2016: Added another Main character. I believe this one will be well liked by audience. It will become very important in the latter books in the series. Also wrote sections for a few chapters.
4) 14th May 2016: Returning from holiday and catching up with work took most of the effort. But I wrote a scenes in the past week.
5) 26th May 2016: Added scenes to already existing chapters. Need to get back and do some serious writing.
6) 27th May 2016: Made a breakthrough with an important character cocept. Added some flesh to some chapters.
7) 4th June 2016: Added detailing to scenes of a few chapters.
8) 18th June 2016: Past weeks have been a bit busy, so haven't got much opportunity to right. But added some body to a few chapters and thought of an excellent cliffhanger. Jaap gave an excellent idea I may use as part of this book or in some other in future.
9) 29th July 2016: Moving ahead has been slow as I have started working on a second idea in the meantime. But will return to this one soon. I need to plan some vacation days. :)
10) 8th July: Not much headway on this book. But started a chapter on a less ambitious project that I plan to publish as a series in another platform. Hopefully I will come back to writing this one again soon.
