Revision and Polish · 11:40am Jul 30th, 2012
My creative drive is jumping back into gear! I just wrote 600+ words in what felt like a few minutes. But alas, as I write, I find myself looking back over the story and seeing numerous plot holes and other errors of the sort. The story just isn't very polished, and at several points contradicts or ignores what I've set down in previous chapters. You know what this calls for:
More revisions!
I'm going to go back and change things so the story makes more sense, because to right now it’s just all over the place. The current plan is that, as soon as I've planned out some lore and back-story, I'm not going to stop writing the newer chapter whilst I revise. Because of this to this the new chapter may hit before I published the revised chapters, and there may be some inconsistencies. I'll also be putting up a revision summary and maybe some background info in case you don't feel like rereading the entire story. I know I wouldn't.
If anyone wants to contribute ideas to the lore/back story feel free to shoot me a private message.
That will be all.

Okay then, as long as we're not forced to re-read everything to spot the changes.
I would even be ok rereading everything considering by now I have displaced most of the information I acquired when I read it. I just really don't want this to turn into a Machine and Might clone where it is on Hiatus for half a year.
Personally, if you revise the prior chapters for continuity, I would reread them. I have enjoyed the story sofar and I don't think that will change anytime soon. Extremely glad to hear your writers block is gone, and hope to see some more updates in the near future. :)
Why didn't this blog post pop up in my notifications? Did you tag From Skies Above?
I'm always a fan of authors writing a tl;dr for revisions, lol. I hate being forced to go back and re-read things I've already read.
