My thoughts on Sanctuary Ch.1 Release · 1:29am Feb 6th, 2013
The first Chapter of Sanctuary is up. It took 4 drafts and 7 agonizing days as the awesome and thorough ArgonMatrix edited and proofread the chapter. Over that week I edited and edited, yet still missed more errors than I care to admit. Thank you ArgonMatrix.
I owe the whole idea of Sanctuary to Daemon of Decay who helped me get the project off the ground. He thought it'd be interesting to see a crazy Twilight in a sane world, which was the opposite of the premise of his story Asylum.
And I'd hate for The11thWonder to think I was forgetting his proofreading contributions. Thank you.
Given that Chapter one wasn't nearly as free of errors as I thought, I won't be trying to rush chapter two and three out. I really diverge from the commonalities with Asylum and take my story in a different direction, as was my intention. I don't think this is as apparent in Chapter one of the story. I also think in my attempt to make Twilight sound confused, I was confusing the readers. I'd call that my 'poetic license' but I doubt you'd buy it.
Please comment and let me know what you think. I've learned many things in the past week collaborating with proofreaders and Daemon of Decay. I still have more to learn, and the more I learn the more I realize how much I don't know.
If anyone needs me I'll be recuperating and finishing the last 300k words of End of Ponies.
and dont forget to check mine, cause i read yours, continue
*munches on crumpet*
Well, grats on that. Did you remember to start a paragraph per new speaker this time? Also, enjoy these imaginary crumpets and tea.
And keep on writing 'till ya loose the muse..
Then get back up and start again.
And I'd bet that about a zillion authors out there would be happy to give you some prompts, Ideas, ect.
Anyways, good day! Or night.. whatever.
Regards and Tea,

799304 Yeah, though I never made up my mind if talking to yourself counts, if it is not out loud. It would seem writing about a crazy person was turning me crazy, because I was about ready to blow up half of ponyville
Luckily me editors are there to catch errors and humble me before I blow the chance for an amazing story
