Game of Assumptions Chapter 1 has been updated! · 4:34am Apr 13th, 2015
So, some of you may have already read the first chapter of my new story, Game of Assumptions, or, How Many Mages Fit in a Magpie.
The chapter was pretty good, but with all the time it took for me to find cover art and everything, I think I posted it mostly without reading what it said, being happy just to have it out there.
That's a mistake and I'm very sorry for my readers for making it.
The originally posted version, as I said, was good but it didn't feel much like a sequel to Guessing Games to me. The format was all wrong and it felt like I wasn't really trying when I was transitioning scenes or describing areas. The thing that mostly woke me up to this was a comment on the story from a user named Mooncalf. The comment was well made, polite, and was mostly targeted at the spotty pacing in the story.
This is far from my first problem with pacing, so I decided to give it a look. Looking at the chapter with fresher eyes than I had when I first wrote it, I started working on it again, adding and changing things until I ended up with a version I'm personally much happier with.
Even if you've already read the first chapter, I highly recommend you read the updated version, as it contains entirely new scenes and information you might otherwise not be privy to.
If, after reading the updated version, you like the changes, thank Mooncalf.
If you don't like the changes, blame me.
Don't blame Mooncalf.
Don't be a joyk.
Although, if you wanted to read the old version you can find it here.
PS.
If you're reading this and you're the one who disliked the story before I updated it,
But, seriously, I encourage you to please take another look at it and give it a second chance. But if you don't, after reading the original I have a basic idea why you would dislike it.
In any case, everyone reading this blog and more can expect more updates for Game of Assumptions!
