Chapter 8 TTOC

This chapter just appeared before me. I could have sworn I was going straight from the Baltiry encampment to Landkire Beandi but my muse had other plans. So without further ado, Chapter 8 of TTOC.

So my writing process and why it is taking so long to just finish this story up

As always my persnicketiness gets in the way. I want it to be perfect. But it never is, at least to me. I took a break from TTOC and then went back and read it again. I see my timing is off again. I am always in a hurry to get to the end. *chuckle* So sometimes I miss a lot of the meat that goes into the story. Still I haven’t done as badly as I have in the past. I am getting better. Somewhat. *smirk*

If you notice, I haven’t described the men yet. That is because I haven’t sorted them out yet. I have a vague idea what they look like. Sometimes I can see my characters clearly right from the beginning, like with Seven. I saw Seven before I even saw her story. In the bag from the post below, I found the first draft of Seven’s story. *smh* It is so different from what it is now. It didn’t even start the same.

Then for some characters, as the story progresses I see them more clearly until I can describe them in detail. Still others come to life as I write or type. They just materialize out of nothing. Sera Beandi was like that. You’ll meet him shortly.

It really is an amazing thing to me to be part of this process. So without further ado, Chapter 7 of The Thief Of Callandaria.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd I'm back!

I've been busy sorting stories and reading and working. I found another bag of stories above and I did make it through that. Yay me! I still haven't finished with the file cabinet but I'll take my victories where I can find them.

It is a hectic world and life. Sometimes it is hard to get or stay motivatated but something about my stories keeps me going.  And to that end tonight I upload chapter 6 of The Thief Of Callandaria.

Now, back to work!

TTOC Chapter 5

Far too sleepy this evening for any preamble so...Chapter 5 of TTOC. *tired smile*

TTOC Chapter 4

I'm posting chapter 4 but I still haven't worked out the exit in chapter 13. I guess because I haven't been working on it. I've got another story kicking around in my brain these days. *chuckle* Would but that I had time to work on them all. But alas, my paying job takes up the lion's share of my days. Can't wait to see all these stories finished!  Till then...

Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

I've been working on TTOC. I'm on chapter 13 *frowning* and I'm stuck. *sigh* I'm trying to figure out which way to go. I had an awesome exit planned for Seven and now...eh. I'll work it out.  While I do, here is Chapter 3.

A Declaration!

So, I have decided to get busy. I’m doing pretty well I think. *chuckle* I finally cleared off my workspace.


I am going to take another look at that first rejected story and get started on revising it. I am going to keep working on TTOC. As a matter of fact I’ve uploaded Chapter 2! *pats self on back*

I'm still not quite as happy with it as I would like but it is a work in progress and this is only the first draft.
I am also going to be rather ambitious here and say that by this time next year I will either be finished 8 stories or will have at least started them. *looks Heavenward*

So here is to my muse, my ego and all the stories within. May we form the perfect alliance and produce and produce and produce and produce and produce ad finum! And may my stories find their audience.
