Just finished my edits for chapter 5. Added in an extra scene and changed around some wording. I'm starting to notice fewer and fewer mistakes. This chapter didn't have as many past-tense mistakes as usual.

I'm on chapter 5 currently for editing. Ugh some of these chapters are just so...sloppy. Like some sentences are bland and disorganized, others make me wonder how they got past my editing. In my defense, I was still rather new at writing.

Exactly what the title says! Chapter 40: Trial By Fire part 4

Almost done with the next chapter. I"m stuck trying to decide if there's certain scenes I want in there now, or if I want them to be in the next chapter or two. Hope everyone is doing well!

Me before work "I'm gonna work on the next chapter of KOTD!"
Me during work *Edits an old chapter or starts to*

Next day
Me before work "I'm gonna edit an old chapter!"
Me at work *Works on next chapter

Next next day
Me before work "I'm just gonna do some writing!"
Me at work *Cleans up notes*

MAKE UP YOUR MIND BRAIN!

Got a bit of work done on the next chapter and I finished editing chapters two and three!

I know I said I'd be posting one more chapter then doing massive rewrites but...

I really wanna just continue the story for a bit since you all were so patient with me. I'm already a 1000 words in on my next chapter. What is everypony's opinion so far? Are you finding the trial interesting? I wanted to take a small break from all the combat since it takes so much time to write and describe everything. Feel free to message me your predictions, but please don't post spoilers publicly.

I finally finished it! Thank you everyone for being so patient! The past few weeks have sucked ASS! Do me a solid and leave me some feedback on this next chapter, please and thank you?

As the title says, I'm almost ready to release the next KOTD chapter. I've been working on it bit by bit, but I misplaced my notes for the chapter so it's taken a bit longer to remember what all I wanted to include. Thank you for your patience!

Kinda put off the next chapter. I had an old family friend take his life and I've been trying to be there for some of his family. Also my financial situation kinda got steamrolled. So with all the stress, I just haven't really sat down to finish the next chapter. Wanted to drop a line and apologize real quick.

I did it I did it! Finished chapter 1 rewrite! Never again! I'm so sick of that damn chapter! I've rewritten it like...four times now? That's not including edit overhauls. Broke it into two parts because chapter 1 being 10,400 words is...uninviting. Ugh. I'm never touching it again. For the most part, I had way too many sentences that started with "I" like "I did this" or "I did that" so I reworded them as much as possible. There were also sentences that were unclear, or seemed...out of place.

Finally finished the first half of chapter 1 and broke it into two parts. I'm done with it, never touching it again. I'm so sick of that damn chapter. I've edited it, added to it, moved stuff around, deleted entire sections. I'm so sick of reading it. On the plus side, I still get that tense feeling when I read it as I follow the story. Unfortunately it made me publish part 2 of chapter 1 before it's been edited. Owell, maybe tomorrow.

After a decently eye-opening review, I'm going to be posting up one more chapter of KOTD, hen giving book one the last overhaul. There's a lot of tense issues and typos that microsoft word and myself didn't catch, as well as chapters that just...need more. I've been putting it off because reading all 142k words and editing them is exhausting. I may post up a random chapter or so while I'm doing this, but I don't plan to. Basically the deal is, when I first started writing, I had a "One chapter

So for those of you new to the story, I'd like to give you some lowdown to the future of the KOTD universe. Currently, book 1 is almost done...and by almost done, I mean I keep thinking of new, awesome stuff to add and my storyboard is a complete disaster and is more of a guideline at this point.

For those of you up to date currently, please let me know what you think of the current predicament! Also please be courteous to your other readers and mark your posts with spoiler!

Gonna post it around 5pm mountain time so keep an eye out!

I've been dividing my time between sprucing up previous chapters and writing the next one. It's going well so far, but man getting my brain to focus is hard. Also I keep getting ideas for scenes for future chapters. My gdoc of the story looks as disorganized as my room.

So I'm done with the next chapter, but I don't wanna release it until I'm done rewriting chapters 1 and 2. Basically it's occurred to me that those chapters need some work, especially since they're the first thing new readers will go through. I have a lot of experience moving a plot forward, but if I stop to think about it, I'm still new when to drop the background/setting information. Chapter 1 is a bit of a mess and breaks up combat in favor of a brief history lesson. I'm giving it a pretty

1 year ago to the day, I started off a massive quest. I wanted to write this huge idea for a story. So it's officially my one year anniversary for my novel.
So I'm sitting here, looking over my last bit of story line and realizing I have about 50k words left before I finish my first novel (It's at 117k right now). It's my largest story by far and I'm rather proud of myself since it hasn't been until this last year that I sat down and finished something I started writing. This is so weird

Yeah, I know it's way overdue, but I've had a massive writing spree for the prequel called One Woman Army that's all about Lucretia. Don't worry, chapte 33 is almost done but I wanna get my ideas out as soon as they come. Thanks for being patient!
