Don't worry, still working on it. I'm just having issues describing the dancing. I'm waiting for a few prereaders to get back to me on whether it makes sense or not. I've never done this before and trying to explain what someone is doing without being repetitive is a nightmare. Thanks again for your patience!
There wasn't much to edit honestly. I found some better words to use and some awesomer descriptions. This is definitely a chapter that gets me pumped and I don't know why I put off editing it for so long.
Okay so decided to edit chapter 12 another time because...well it's super long. But anyways I got the next chapter ready to go so keep an eye on your feeds tomorrow! Thank you all for being patient! This next chapter's a dousy so do me a solid and leave me some feedback please and thank you!
I know I haven't posted anything in a while, my life got flipped upside down. not gonna bother going into detail, just the next chapter of KOTD that I wanna edit is a big one. I'm saving the next new chapter for when I feel that my beginning chapters are better. I'd like to draw more people in and I'm sure after they got halfway through the tragedy of chapters 1-11, they probably gave up.
Hope you enjoy it!
I keep looking at how many chapters I've edited, vs how many I have to go and it just seems so daunting. I know later chapters will be a lot easier, like 20s or so, but still....
Holy crap there were so many typos! I'm friggin shocked! I thought I had written this when my standards had improved, but apparently not! Maaaan editing 8.8k words takes a while. I'm happier with it though. A lot happier. It looked like it had never had a spellcheck before though, which is weird cause I coulda swore that everything after chapter 20 was put through microsoft's reviewer thing. You see, this was back before I found out that Gdocs spellcheck was awful, and loved to change "its" to
I haven't reread chapters 30-40 in a looong time. It feels so weird cause there's scenes I completely forgot about so in a way it's like reading my on book for the first time. I wonder how it would feel to have amnesia then getting to read your own books. Anyways, besides weird formatting and some sentences that could use sprucing up, didn't find much in the way of editing. Man Linkin Park really helps with editing these more emotional chapters.
Added in some extra dialogue, some better descriptions to better depict how people are feeling. I think the entire thing flows better now. I stil gotta watch how I keep starting every sentence with "I did this" or "I did that"
*Cracks neck* sweet lord these long chapters are murder. I mean yes they're long, but I've read them so many damn times, especially this chapter. I had spent a long time trying to make the descriptions short, sweet, meaningful and poetic. I still saw some previous dialogue problems, back when I'd say the body language of who's talking, then put in a comma, followed by the dialogue. Granted this was one of the first scenes I wrote before I had actually began the story. Before chapter 1 was even
Another longish chapter, but I think I started editing this one but never finished. There was a lot of basic dialogue that needed some sprucing up and plenty of room for more flavorful vocabulary everywhere. Didn't see much in the way of editing, besides a few unclear descriptions and actions. The ending seems s tad cliche, but this can't really go any other direction. It may also be that I'm tired of re-reading all these chapters over again. I'll confess though, these later chapters are
So I've had a lot of stuff go down recently. My roommates and I are putting up a friend who's fleeing an abusive relationship and it's ...well a bit taxing. since she doesn't have a car. I'm working on the next chapter, but I've hit a snag, mostly due to having no idea how to "write" music. Like how do I describe an entire song, even if it's just drums? Well anyways, next chapter might be a bit late. Thanks for your patience!
I thought it would take me longer to edit this, being 6k words long, but it was rather easy. No major edits. A few clumsy worded sentences here and there. Found like...one typo. Otherwise besides the repeated uses of "I did this" and "I did that" I'm rather happy with this chapter.
So after dealing with a lot of financial crap, work was like "Go take a huge ass vacation."
Chapter 39
Chapter 33:
I spruced up the descriptions some, and changed some wording. A lot of it sounded unclear and awkward so it should flow better now.
Chapter 34:
There were a decent amount of typos and I was rather shocked. They were all technically words, so it might explain why spellcheck didn't catch them. Same deal as before, some descriptions were kind of unclear, and I added in some extra imagery.
Eh, saw several annoying typos and a few places to spruce up the wording. Also there were some unclear actions I was able to tidy up, nothing too serious imo.
This was a longer and more difficult chapter. I spruced up the descriptions and general formatting. there was some stuff that I felt could have been described or worded better. At the end, I added in a character and put in a few more things with General Versa. I might add a bit more later, but for now I'm content with it.
Exactly what the title says! Chapter 40: Trial By Fire part 4
