Epic Fail

So I'm not really happy with the latest section. It's one of the things that has been giving me writer's block lately. But I decided to just plow through it, and I really feel like I failed.

It started good enough I think, but when it got to the end of Caden's conversation with Sam, it falls flat. It really lacks the emotion that it should have. And that was the problem. Sam's been hiding the fact that Caden's dad has been missing, and Caden just learned the truth. He should be ready to run out the door, grab Starlight and race back out into the world. But it just doesn't strike me as true when he does so. 

This section is in major need of a rewrite, if anyone has a suggestion for improvement, please leave a comment and discuss below.

New Story Update and News

Back up with a new story after a long break from writers block and tight work schedules. It took me a while to figure out how I wanted to do with this section. I knew what I wanted, and there have been some changes. But everything seems to be working out now.

My schedule is very busy. (I'm actually working overtime) So I can't say that I'll be doing any kind of regular updates in the near future. But Caden's story is far from finished, and I still be updating when I can. So please subscribe to the story to know when an update is available.

Here in Japan, Cherry Blossoms are a really big deal, but there was a lot of rain this year, so the season passed quickly. Even still, I found the time to get out on a few nice days.

They are pretty, and it's a great time if you enjoy taking long walks and absorbing the scenery. Also a friend came down to visit from Hiroshima. 

And we had a gorgeous sunday with really nice weather. So we went to see some of the sites in Yamaguchi. The most famous is the five story pagoda. We got a little side tracked trying to find it, and wandered through a buddhist temple, and an old graveyard (From before they cremated everyone), but finally we arrived, and it was worth the search.

The Dragon Knights: Chapter 9: The Road Home

New month, new story update. No I didn't finish the revisions, but things are putting me behind schedule and I really wanted to get back to the story.

It's surprising how much you can lose the pace that you have with a story when you take a break from it. I hope it will be motivation to not take a month long hiatus from writing in the future.

It's April, still not sure if I'm going to go for Script Frenzy this year. Might give it a shot, but my schedule is still very tight.

Still missing the last script I wrote. I think it was one of my best, but it's trapped in a busted harddrive along with the first draft of the Dragon Knights. But we've actually moved past where the first draft was, so this is all new grounds for me.

Wish me luck.
