Will resume writing when I can, all free time for the past few weeks has been spent on moving related work, sleep and getting stress out via games and whatnot.
AND I DID!!!!!!
...Wrote five pages tonight, that's 2 and a half more pages than I had written over the past month.
The story is back on track and chapter 4 should finish soon. As early as thursday or as late as monday, I'm going to attempt to try and make that goal. I'm at about the halfway point of the chapter, so I'm feeling good about this.
...Uh, except not really.
Chapter 4 has been on hold for a while and it was simply from the inability to figure out how to make a particular part of it work out. To be specific, I was having trouble working out how to handle the first half.
But, after browsing through some other stories on here, I came to a state of clarity and realized that sometimes less is more.
Well guess it's time to let you guys know, I'm creatively dead and the story's on hia- Nah, I'm joking, no plans at all to put this story on haitus. Do not worry followers. :D
Dawnguard, MTG and work have been eating up my mind. Luckily, based on various day dreaming earlier today, it looks like I may be back on the verge of writing something. But again, no promises to make. It never benefits for me to do that.
So chapter four has, at the least, been pondered upon. Right now though, it's growing into something more.
Essentially, pre-writing on chapter 4 (AKA actually developing some story background) forced my hand at needing to do some thinking about characters central to the story as a whole.
Due to a desire to sort of 'edit the chapter to a state of better written...ness', chapter 3 is on an unspecified delay. Won't be longer than a week though, but can't give any specific days.
Should hopefully be worth the wait, there are a couple scenes I want to clean up and make sure are tweaked to my preferences.
Chapter 3 is on the verge of being finished, with only about 3-4 more pages to be added before it's good to go. I would have finished it tonight and had it out tomorrow for pre-reader approval but an idea came up last second near the end that I needed to run by my pre-readers, only for myself and them to have tired out at the last minute.
