I hate moving

There is nothing worse then moving. Sure, at first it seemed like fun when I was 18 and going away for college.

Didn't mind having to move everything back for summer, then again for the new school year. Didn't mind switching dorms for the next summer. Thought it was great to move to my first apartment for my third year. Each year after that, I moved to a new place, each better then the last. It was great back then.

It was slightly annoying moving out after college. (I didn't want to leave the city.) But it was necessary, so okay.

Then in the past 13 months, I've had to move 6 times... Now I'm being forced to move again. So 7 times in 13 months. Wheee...

And the new place is horrible compared to my current place. I haven't found a single thing about it to actually look forward to.

So if you're wondering where those revisions I promised are? I've been given two days to move all of my crap and a bunch of stuff left by old teachers. Plus I still have to work every day.

The Dragon Knights: Chapter 1

I've finished typing up the current revised version of the Prologue and Chapter 1.

You can click above to view them, and if you click on the post title, it will take you to the Archive and the original version. I'm hoping to have Chapter 2 typed up and posted tonight or tomorrow.

You can also find all the revised posts by searching the blog for the label Revised.

And if your blog feeder is subscribe to this post, be sure to also subscribe to the main story. I'll be returning to new story updates soon.

Paper

So I've printed out everything I've written so far. And aside from a few formatting issues, Dragon Knights is up to 73 pages. Wow, didn't realize I'd written that much already. Still a long way to go before the end of book one.

Why did I print it out? Because you see more things that need to be changed on paper then you do on a computer screen. And this also allows me to get my wife to edit and critique as well.

What does this mean for you? It means that I will get back to the regular updates sooner.

Wish me luck.

Update - Still Editing

So editing is coming along slower then previously expected. I apologize. 

I've been banging my head against the keyboard, but it just doesn't get any faster. :D
(Doesn't help that safari keeps crashing on me while using blogger lately.)

Although I've reformatted the Page Layout. What do you think?

I want to say thanks to Mr. McCulloch from hostingGANG for the advice that helped me tweak the code right.

Editing

The Sunday post never went live like it was supposed to. Sorry about that. It's fixed and available now.

Busy days at work, never let anyone tell you that teaching in Japan is an easy job with hours of free time.

So, with the start of March, I've decided to go through and line edit what I've already written. This is primarily a writing exercise to polish my skill up. So I need to go back once in a while to see how I've been doing.

I will create an archive with original drafts for reference.

Those who are regular readers, I hope you'll stick with me through this process. I'll post here as I complete the different sections, let me know what you think.

Sorry

Sorry, no post for today. Spent the day talking with Christina and working out different stories. Ones that, if we're lucky, will someday come to a theatre near you.
