    Working on Other Stuff

    Hey all, just wanted to apologize for the heinous lateness of the newest chapter. I've been working on Stories on and off for about three years now, and as it turns out, writing the same characters and plot can get a bit tiresome after a while. In January, after I finally put myself back together after my life collapsed in late 2014, writing Stories was seriously starting to feel like a chore,

    Sick as a Dog

    I've been told before that between my constant sleeping, declining health, and dogged pessimism, I am on the inside a grumpy old man. I always thought that was some sort of joke until now. And now I have shingles. Shingles. I'm twenty years old! I suppose I'll have to start worrying about dementia next. On top of that, I've got a sinus infection, and I think my eyes are starting to go. At

    A few days off

    My girlfriend of almost a year dumped me. I'm not gonna be writing for a few days, so this next chapter will be a little later than usual. If I tried to write right now I'd just end up killing off all my characters.

    Nocturnal

    A/N : The following is a briefly proofread, un-structured thinkpiece. I don't really take my blog as seriously as my stories, so if that isn't what you're here for, you probably shouldn't bother reading this.

I Swear I'm not Dead · 3:15am Apr 5th, 2012

Okay, so it's been a month since I last updated Stories of a Warden. I know what you're all thinking "looks like Rosencranz went and gave up/burned out/got abducted by time traveling Japanese feudal lords and sold into sex slavery." Well, as it turns out, none of those things are true. Actually, I'm working harder than ever--editing. And I don't mean "fix this typo here, get rid of a comma splice there" type editing, I'm talking about "every sentence needs to be as close to f**king perfect as possible" editing. And since none of my sentences were perfect to begin with, just about every line in the whole thing is getting changed to some extent. At this point, most of Chapter 1 has been completely rewritten, and I'm not even done with the third draft. Now, I know it's "just" fanfiction, but I take pride in whatever I write, and I've picked up two awesome editors (my buddy secondaryspine, and his six-star-fic-writing friend Corejo) who are as much of perfectionists as I am, and know more than just a thing or two about writing. So, we're going through and fixing up (or outright replacing) whatever we have to to get this fic ready for EqD. It just takes a while. The good news is that soon, I'll have something to show for it, because I should get done editing Chapter 1 fairly soon, and I'll put it up as soon as it's ready. Hopefully, future chapters will go a bit faster; the first two chapters are the weakest of the bunch, in my opinion. So, yeah. I'm still here. And totally not dead.

Edit: I got really tired of having the shitty first drafts of Chapters 1 and 2 online, so I uploaded a mishmosh of the second and third drafts of Chapter 1, and a partial edit of Chapter 2. However, I'm still not done with these yet; more updates will follow.

Aaand second edit: My editor's computer blew up. So now there's that to deal with.
