Major big Update on Con Mane · 2:48pm May 19th, 2015
Thanks to the majorly awesome guys The Pleasant Commentator and Review Group (Which everyone should totally check out. Their reviews are blunt, honest but not demeaning. http://www.fimfiction.net/group/201936/the-pleasant-commentator-and-review-group) I've been able to get some much needed feedback on my writing of Con Mane. As a fairly experienced writer I have known for a long time that Con Mane has not been my best work. I have always known that there was something missing holding the stories back but I've never been able to objectively see just what that was. This is why I sent in the story for critiquing in the first place so I can figure out that something. The reviewer made some very valid and interesting points, and after allowing the critique to set in to eliminate emotional and defensive bias, I can agree with a lot of what was said.
So what I intend to do is essentially update all of Con Mane that has been written thus far. What you can read right now are essentially edited first drafts. I intend to correct this by essentially rewriting everything into better drafts. The stories themselves won't change at all, just the way they are written. The new, rewritten chapters will slowly replace the chapters that are there now. Labels of "Old" and "Updated" will differentiate the chapters until an entire story is done updating.
Naturally this will put the progress on Undercurrent on hold but that is more than OK because I find myself unsatisfied with my progress on the story and I think my knowing that it's not my best work is a part of that . So in the meantime, look forward to an updated version of Dr. Ironhoof which I will start on today
