As any reader of this blog can see I suck at posting constant entries. My paper journals suffer from this fault as well. I am determined to finish a really rough draft of this story by August. That is my goal. Hopefully by typing it down I will be more dedicated to keeping it ( Read more... )

I feel very sneaky about my next chapter. I can't say how or why but ohhhh I feel proud. It just popped into my head while I was writing-no planning or pre thought involved. Readers will either get it or not. Also i am really enjoying writing about my main couple. Yes, I believe every good story should have a romance no matter how minor they ( Read more... )

So here is a question I have: should I create new stars/constellations for my land? It is a mythical land so it would make sense to create a new sky would it not? This is not a major concern for me, just a thought that went through my head while writing today. I love space so this may be a cool mini project to do while writing the story, plus ( Read more... )

I am on a roll! I have finished my next section. All my main characters are in place: Saturn, Bumper, Ryan, and Dru travelling through Yeyarr with Farrius on their trail. That being said this was also an awkward section as Dru was naked for most of it. Now before people start protesting that I am promoting nudity in my story I would like to ( Read more... )

So I spent two hours writing tonight and ended up with only three pages. I believe I think too much before I write hence nothing gets written! Though to be fair this is a difficult section. It is easy to say that my gang is "going on an adventure" to quoe Bilbo Baggins from Tolkiens The Hobbit but first the characters need to be convinced to go ( Read more... )

Well I am done my next chapter and boy was it hard to explain. It is a chapter where two of my three characters are attacked. I can picture their movements in my head easily enough but putting their movements to paper was difficult. Also, I had to think about how I want the spells my characters use to be shown. I would like to create actual ( Read more... )

I am beginning to realize that writing blocks come from the silliest things. I can't decide on the perspective of my next attack scene. Basically it's Saturn and Dru's second meeting and I do not know whether to have it from Saturn's view point or Dru's. Either way, I am deliberately putting off facing it and thus i'm going no where. ARGGGHHHH ( Read more... )

I am sorry to u fabulous cyber readers that I haven't been posting lately-with school starting and a 1 week road trip in the works I'll likely be off for a good 2 weeks (but you never know!). I have still been working out kinks with my story. Basically I need to find 8 days of obsticles for my heros to face; they can't just arrive at Blu Crescent ( Read more... )

I am doing research in horse travel and boy is it complicated. I know nothing about them apparently so I am wondering if I should take them out of the story. My lead knight will obviousely have a horse since he's decorated and he needs compaionship of some sort. But my scholar isn't a great rider and I don't know how Saturn willl get a horse. ( Read more... )

Alright I think I figured out how long it will take for my characters to travel to Blue crescent Ridge-8 days assuming they can travel 20 miles per hour. However they are traveliing in mountain terrain plus need to stop for rests and training. I am thinking 10 miles a day for 15 days or 1/2 a month. Any input?
