    Revision is up! Chapter 2 is next

    So I went through my prologue and read it over again taking the critical comments into consideration. I completely understand the comments I received about my initial narration. After going through it I picked several lines that made me cringe. I now know what not to do when it comes to narrating. I shouldn't be using the narrator to make jokes or call the punchline before it happens. I

    Planning on Revision (Pfft already!)

    When I first wrote this prologue, I wanted to have some fun with it. Turns out that's not something that someone would want to read. The pre-reader I have is a friend so I could see why he would think it's funny. It's pretty much his buddy wailing on his own fanfiction. For strangers it might seem weird or feel wrong. I completely understand this now and it took a couple people to teach me that.

The Journey to the 3rd Chapter · 6:28pm Nov 8th, 2011

I need a new blog post to convey my thoughts about my progress thus far. First:

I kind of submitted the story to Equestria Daily. I've frantically put it all in google docs and did the outline for the submission last night. Last message I got was that it was sent to the prereaders. I wonder if they have to skim the contents first? Y'know before sending them to a prereader. Actually now I'm curious as to who prereads those submissions. Hopefully they are just looking at it for grammar and spelling. I'm kind of worried how they'll take the story into consideration. Still I hope by some strange reason, it makes it on the blog.

I didn't want to post the fimfiction location for a good reason. Well it's my good reason, anyway. The submission guidelines specify that it can't have any kind of interjections that don't involve the story. Yeah... like the ones I have before and after and sometimes in the middle. I can understand that they don't want any extra additions in the story. Unfortunately I like them there, since I can just give the reader a little break and crack a joke here and there. I don't do it occasionally and no one has really complained about it here. Therefore I sent them a clean version with zero interjections. You can understand the story without them. They are just there for fun.

If I manage to get a post on there, I'll make another blog for it. Even though I'm sure anyone reading this would already know.

Chapter 3 I've already started and I'm just continuing antics as planned. To be honest I'm not too sure when the story will end or how long it will be. I am thinking ahead as far as the story goes. This way when I get there, I'll know what should happen next. I'm getting plenty of feedback here and I couldn't be more grateful. It was this feedback that made me take the story seriously and really make it the best of my ability. Hopefully it won't turn stale anytime soon.

Until Next Time,

Dash
