For the love of...ughh!!!!
The number one problem with returning to a story after so long is the fact that you cant remember where you left off. I starting work some more on chapter nine when I said to myself: "what they hell are they supposed to be doing?!" Thus I had to find my Blackout notes (the huge ass folder of 'em) and see the skeleton outline for the story. I wrote a very vauge one for it... However, I've been writing more fleshed out one for other stuff Ive been working on and thus I wish I had for blackout too... Because I feel like I linger too much in the PA when I should be worrying about the story and fighting.
Well lovely little blackout kinda knows for better or worse that Ner and Zephie are supposed to be together. I guess thats good... *headkeyboard* And I forgot over the summer I fleshed out a few alien races a bit more, so I had to go back and make sure that detail was there to round off said characters.
Characters like Iblis, Nahal, Xochi, and Aahti seemed a bit more fleshed out now that I understand where they are from and who they knew before joining the UBO. I'm so much happier about that. When Enki, Luc, and Teh join they will be fleshed out too because I who what they are like and about. Phew~ Then lastly would be Sync.... I'm really trying to figure out how I want to protrary that Clone... He should be interesting to say the least.
Sooo, I think I know where chapter nine is going... I think I had some stuff going on so that it makes a 4 day trip go by quicker. I forgot they were heading to Arionus and that takes a few days (even with a warp drive) Upon getting there.... I think, that they will meet with the ASRU (Arionian Space Reconnaissance Unit) and UAP (Universal Alliance of Planets, which is only two planets currently, because the others dont join till later on.) I might Foreshadow that Arrhae's father or grandfather, who is like the leader of the planet is the one that started the ASRU, UAP and headmaster of the ATUSE (Arionian Technical University of Space Exploration). Oh yes, I totally did.
Anywho, after blah blah, and having Enki push off on them as their 'guide', which I'll have him explain the threat of 'Space Pirates' and Ceres. After which, I think they might rest there over night, because they got their earlier then Abanddon who they have been tracking thus far. Next day, they fight and FINALLY defeat Abanddon.
After which, they'll contact Ebru back on Ace via their space ship and tell her that they are going to track down these said space pirates that are attacking Elon V. And then I think I'll end the chapter there. Only, because I wasn't supposed to introduce Enki until chapter 10.
After I finish Chapter 9 though, I plan to revise this shitty skeleton outline and make things a bit more figured out.....
Sooo Let's see.... After I finish 9, I have 10, 11, and 12 to do and I should be done with Part Two! ZOMG (which should be my 50K... If not *shrug* I'll just continue on with PART THREE. I had chapters 7 and 8, which are the first two chapters of Part Two already written because I was working on Blackout last spring semester.
I also really badly need to remove the smut in chapter 9. o__O;;;; I don't know how it got there.... but I think I wrote it when I was getting my 7K jump start.....
Anyways, the one good thing about Chapter 9 so far is my awesome foreshadowing skills with Aahti. God, I really love that magician! He's a great character, Zeph's just lucky he's acutally on his side unlike some other people.... ;;>>
Anywho, must fix this outline and then write a bit more for tonight, WC update will be later... I guess....
