KOTD New Chapter Pains · 7:20am Jan 13th, 2018
New chapter is done. Maybe I'm in a weird mood but it just reads strangely to me. Can't tell if it's fine or the writing really is weird...

Okay...it's almost here. I'm not gonna give numbers, but I'm so close to marking KOTD book 1 as completed. Like I'm on the home stretch where a lot of chapters are prewritten scenes from back when I first started writing KOTD. This point until the end is planned out storywise, with plenty of room for me to add new stuff. I'm so excited but a tad sad to see book 1 be done and over with. With the next chapter, I'm gonna crack down and edit a few more chapters.
So friggin glad I'm done with the damn trial! You'd be surprised just how much effort I put into it. It's also hard to be in the mood to write it. Now I get to move on to the scenes I want to write! I'm really looking forward to these next few chapters! And to all my new readers who also \gave me a thumbs up, thank you so much! It's been a crappy few weeks since I messed up my back at work, so my mood has kinda tanked. Your support gives me more hope than you know. Thanks again for being
Next chapter is going up as long as I don't accidentally sleep through prime time!
No matter how hard I tried, this chapter just keeps coming up short. Everything I try to add, breaks the flow of the chapter. I wanted to lengthen it, but there honestly isn't a good place to do it. I'll come back to it later I guess.
This dialogue was irritating because there's a ton of dialogue that has to happen at this time. I tried to break it up with a few brief moments of interactions between characters and backstory, but it still feels dull to me. This is also one of those ties where I wanted to hint at something, while secretly planning something else. There's still that worry of it coming across as bad writing, but owell.
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
Aaaaand there we go! This chapter was a little more tricky. I had some confusing numbers in the squads and made some writing errors. Also there was some context confusion about who was doing what. not sure if anyone noticed or cared, but I did. Tried to make it a lot more gut-wrenching and heart-breaking.
SPOILERS if you haven't read past this chapter.
I think I may have edited this chapter before. There wasn't much to fix except the usual and a few odd descriptions.
Not much to fix here except once again I being way too many sentences with "I did this". I spruced up some descriptions and completely erased entire sentences that were just...kind of awkward. It's nice rereading everything. I knew how it all looked in my head but it doesn't always come across that way, but this is how we learn isn't it? The size of this chapter kept me from editing it for quite some time. So I took tonight and made a thousand words worth of progress here and there and took
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've had so much damn depression lately, that I made a small check list just to get out of bed. The last three days have felt like someone died. And of course when you're depressed, all you want to do is lay in bed which just makes it worse. All I wanna do is edit my next chapter and get it out. Of course I still need to edit chapter 12, but I might just say screw it for now. I've been slowly learning how to draw and working on the board game. I have no idea why I keep getting these nasty
So honestly the first photo I posted was taken with my phone and I also touched up the photo. I wanted to move on a bit from EQG and try to draw the cover of King of the Dead,. For some reason, I'm finding it harder to draw men than women. I guess cause with traditional drawing, women use more ovals and men are a lot more rigid, which means my lengths have to be more specific.
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.
There wasn't much to edit. I just wanted to add a bit more. I guess it's done for now but I think I'm going to extend celestias dialogue instead of just glossing over it. I've spent the last few days thinking of what I wanted to add to this given it's length.
I told myself I'd do three chapters tonight, but the very next chapter was a longer one. For the most part, there was just some clarification and formatting issues. As usual, I found any reason I could to cut down on the "I did this" and "I did that"s.
Holy crap this chapter took more work than chapter 8, despite being like half the size. I used to have this nasty issue of glossing over something that I didn't feel like explaining at the moment or planning on explaining later then forgetting. I didn't take good chapter notes as I went along.
*spoilers if you haven't read chapter 9*
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.
Honestly, there wasn't a whole lot wrong with this chapter. Mostly some bland descriptions and not setting the mood properly.
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....
