    Elfy Update, 6/29

    As of this morning I am officially on the wrong side of twenty. I'd say it feels weird, but I don't really feel any different. Age is a weird thing, isn't it?

    I know it isn't my normal update day, but I realized I hadn't said anything in awhile. I'm also sure you guys are about as sick of hearing my excuses for slow writing as I am of writing them, but here we are. Last time was RE8, this time it's a combination of Mass Effect and DnD.

    Man, I've gotten really bad at keeping you guys updated, and getting a chapter done a week. It's gotten to difficult to focus with all my other projects floating around.

    In my defense, neither quick nor Qrow have been editing, so I'm not the only slacker here. Not that it makes this better...

HEY, I need your opinion on something! · 12:52am Dec 31st, 2012

So, basically, the problem is this. I want to write To Dream is Divine sometime in the foreseeable future, BUT how I wrote In Search of Knowledge bothers me.
The choice is this:

I will either A: re-write In Search of Knowledge, changing some things, making it overall better, while still keeping the story the same. Major plot elements will not be changed, just have the time frames changed. Like, I would want to make the actual writing of the book last throughout multiple chapters, cut out a lot of the fluff that makes up the first four chapters, and I want to change the overall time. Instead of being at the end of the year, I want to be at the beginning. Hopefully, it could come out better

Option B: I go back in and touch things up. Add description (or take it away), rewrite some dialog, add action to the dialog to make it seem less like a phone call, and more like an actual conversation, et cetera.

Either way, the sequel is still planned, after I finish up another project or two, Not All is as Sweet is growing, whereas TLHoaFN hasn't moved, at all. On top of it all, I have an experimental new project, that may or may not actually ever get finished.

So, yeah, no matter what I decide, To Dream is Divine will get written, just depending on what I do to Not All is as Sweet, it might start differently.

Any help you could give would be great, vote down in the comments.
