No Nose Update · 12:03am Nov 5th, 2017
So, for all of you who are wondering and asking when the next chapter of No Nose Knows will be unleashed, I have news.
Good news! Good news! Don't panic! I'm still writing away. In fact, the chapter is done and there's a good chance you will be reading this with the new chapter.
But one of the main reasons I started writing fanfics was to see where I needed to improve. I know I'm not the best of writers, but this seemed like a good way to get an idea of where I was lacking.
And some pretty fine folks have stepped up and helped me immensely. The fact that No Nose has over five thousand views now means I might have a little skill. The comments you all have offered have been helpful beyond words, and I hope they keep rolling in.
But a couple of awesome writers and artists have stepped up and, in what I am sure was a fit of insanity, offered to take on the task of editing my mess. I have been self-editing my stuff up to this point for the most part, and you can tell. I can't get better if I don't know where I'm screwing up at, so if those brave souls who volunteered to help me clean up my language don't kill me for using too many commas, I should bet better and No Nose will be an even better story.
So updates will be a bit more spread out as I let the editors work. I'll still push them out as quickly as possible but I want to give Sipioc, Georg, and Moon Fire a chance to look things over before I release something. Hopefully as time goes on they won't need to correct as many mistakes.
Oh jeeze.
Commas, ... those things *which I use WAAYY too much* and my fav, --- which I always get mixed up with the ...
and I'm sure I speak for many on this but, *that ... just happened right there I swear it did* take your time. Its better to have a delay to something great to a rush to something meh.

Exactly.
I too know the pain of self editing. Grammar at times and commas are a problem for me. Take all the time you need to put otu a chapter. I know I for one can wait. Though I am very excited to see what comes next.

its even worse when making a game. Lord only knows I could use the same kinda help with making this monster.
And Thanks for the watch btw!

I've been having flashbacks to elementary school and a dreaded red pencil...*shudder*

You're welcome!
Great news!
And hope you improve even more!
Kudos to Sipioc, Georg, and Moon Fire for stepping up to become editors.

Like I said, a fit of insanity.
If you hear screaming in the distance, it's one of them trying to get though my slop
I have volunteered my grammar-Nazism for editing before. NEVER. AGAIN.
Even when you're 100% correct grammatically there's something you can ALWAYS do better.
I can't shut it off once it starts. Just ask my poor 7 paragraphs I've been editing for TWO YEARS.

That is some serious editing.

The worst part is they're now so perfect I can't even follow up. It's like a singularity from which no plot progression can ever escape.
Do you plan to edit the existing chapters too, or only the new ones?
Ufff...good news :)

Perfection has a high cost it would seem. I shall keep a wary eye out for those event horizons...

I'll probably get them cleaned up too. I'm sure there has been a fair amount of cringing as people have read them.
