11/28/08: Ladies and gentlemen, I suck.
So. It's nearly the end of November, and I haven't even finished chapter 46. Bad me.At least I did get myself to finish chapter nine of Morphic, and yesterday I got past the point I'd been stuck at and now it's just sitting down and writing a couple of scenes and battles. I like some parts of what I have and some not. I'd give a preview, but none of it would make very good preview-material, really, besides that I'm not at home right now.
11/01/08: PeNoWriMo
As I had mentioned, my goal for my Personal Novel Writing Month (an unofficial spin on NaNoWriMo) is to write 50,000 words total of The Quest for the Legends and Morphic in the month of November.The initial statistics:
Morphic: 24,279 words
TQftL: 208,862 words
Total: 233,141 words
Thus, my goal is 283,141 words. Hopefully this will get me to finish chapter 46.
Also, opinion poll! Should I post chapters here as I finish them during PeNoWriMo (with probably some drop in quality as they'll be written in a hurry and not edited very well, though of course I will proofread for typos and such), or post them after I edit them properly in December? Alternatively, I could finish chapter 46 and post it because you've been waiting for it for a while, and then wait until December with the other ones, which might be the most sensible choice (since I really don't want to mess those chapters up too badly).
10/23/08: Chapter 46 is annoying.
It's way too long. I'm on the fifth page and probably have at least one page left before I get to the actual battles, and I'd planned to cram two of those into the chapter. Ugh.That and I haven't been in much of a mood to write it recently. But never fear: I think NaNoWriMo for me this year will be a dedication to writing 50,000 words total of The Quest for the Legends and Morphic in the month of November, and that's got to get stuff done.
Right now Dragonite is talking about how he feels like a balloon.
10/12/08: TQftL Tropes
Ever been to TV Tropes? If not, it's the sort of website you are liable to waste an entire day on - I did that on Friday, for instance - so you might want to turn away now if you want to manage any sort of productivity for the next few weeks. But if it is too late for you and you're bored, then here's something to do: find tropes that apply to The Quest for the Legends (or the spin-offs). And post them here. See how many we can get.Chapter 46 is on the fifth page; now I'm worrying that it will be too long. I maybe should have combined the entire first half of this chapter with chapter 45, but then my favorite chapter beginning ever wouldn't be a chapter beginning. D: Oh, moral dilemmas.
09/30/08: Chapter 46 progress report
(Psst, everybody who missed it: I did not make a typo in the title of this post; chapter 45 is indeed already up.)I'm on the second page of chapter 46 already. It has my favorite chapter beginning ever, so I took some time off the chemistry report I was supposed to be writing the day before yesterday so that I could write that, and then I just went with the conversation, which I also like the outcome of. The chapter will have a battle or two (haven't fully decided yet) and some training stuff, so it could become long, but I'm not entirely sure.
Good God, I still can't believe I'm actually writing League chapters now. You have no idea how long I've been plotting those things out and rubbing my hands together at the vague future idea of writing them. @_@
