01/01/09: Happy 2009
I have a shiny new monitor to write on now. :DSo! My new year's resolution last year was to write at least five chapters in 2008, not counting chapter 37, which I finished on New Year's Day; I definitely did that. The other one was to try to write ten chapters in 2008. Chapter 46 is technically the ninth of the year.
But! Keep in mind that chapter 45 part 2 is only considered part of chapter 45 because of my OCD! Really I wrote a full nine chapters in 2008! And chapter 46 is well over an average chapter in length already, so if you turn your head a bit, I did write ten chapters in 2008! :o
...okay, so that was an excuse, fine. But! I wrote 108 pages of the ILCOE in 2008. And that's more than one fifth of the entire thing (currently I'm on page 496 of the ILCOE Word document, although that also contains a couple of the first chapters of the IALCOTN and a whole bunch of notes at the bottom; Word tells me the actual story is 489 pages at the moment). So I think I've done reasonably well. :D In fact, I wrote 145 pages in 2004, 114 pages in 2005, 58 pages in 2006, and 67 in 2007, so I'm almost at the same pace as in 2005.
I hereby resolve that I will write at least 100 pages of The Quest for the Legends in 2009, however many chapters that might be.
Still on the thirteenth page of chapter 46; I've been working on The Cave of Dragonflies too much recently. And playing Final Fantasy VII with my boyfriend.
12/22/08: Progress
So I've just started the eleventh page of chapter 46. The first League battle started on page nine. I'm doing a reasonably good job inching on with the battle whenever I'm here; while I've been incapable of doing anything of worth for my site in way too long, my productivity in writing has been great recently. I mean, I've written more than twenty pages of stuff since October, which is well over two average chapters of this fic.Currently trying my hardest to make the League battles good.
12/12/08: Haven't done an extra in a while...
New extra, written in a burst of random inspiration at half past four AM when I was supposed to be going to bed! Just after a major writing spree which I just wrote a Quest Blog entry about!Letting Go
I personally really like how it came out, but it may just be that I love writing May, especially in moments like that.
12/12/08: Whoo, writing spree
I'm on the fifth page of chapter 46, after having been on the second when I got back home from my boyfriend's house in the late afternoon. Not quite NaNoWriMo output yet (today's writing is just under 1500 words), but it's something. And I really want to get to the battles, damn it. (Me, wanting to get to the battles? Impossible!)A one-liner preview!
“Letal has turned into you,” Mark told May at dinner.
Interpret however you like for now.
Also, the deadness of the forum makes me saaaad.
12/05/08: Chapter 45, Part 2
Chapter 45, Part 2: More Stuff Happens is up.(Yes, that title is a joke and does not actually appear on the page. If you missed it, check the previous entry of the Quest Blog for an explanation.)
Eight pages added on. I'm rather satisfied with parts of them. Still my favorite "chapter beginning" ever.
