Quick update. · 7:04am Feb 1st, 2016
I just wanted to let you know that I'm still working on the new chapter.
So yea almost 7k and I think a couple thousand more to go. I really want to get this chapter done, it's been sitting in my head for too long now. The first few paragraphs were written in may of last year. MAY! Can you believe that. Also, I kinda overestimated the amount of free time I would have now that I'm working, so yea that doesn't help. Add to that my bad tendency of procrastinating, I end up wasting my free time on other things such as /mlp/, reddit, youtube(two month back log of videos), deviantart (my deviant watch is almost hitting 5k...) not to mention the Star Wars bundle gathering dust in Steam that I got for my birthday.... Still, I downloaded Drive to my phone so I will be trying to write while on the bus to work. Talking about work, if there's one thing that's been drilled into my head while there it is that one should never use ly adverbs because apparently "the road to hell is paved with adverbs". So I went to check The Encounter and the chapter I'm writing and well...
Let's just say my boss would probably fire me if she ever saw that. I'll try to see if I can fix that too before I post the chapter. I don't even want to check Encounters and Terrible Fate look like...
Dear god, this stupidity strikes again. We have descriptive words in English for a very good reason. Use them. They are not the enemy and should not be avoided no matter what some idiots may say (at least outside a few very narrow roles like instructions).
3727818 This is why I said try. Some of them have been easy to replace, while others were more difficult. I guess I'll stick with what I feel reads best.
