Another Chapter Bites the Dust

Finally, I have completed Chapter Four, after such a slow pace. I am now working at Wal-Mart for the summer, so that has slowed down my writing as well and is slowly sucking the life out of me >_<. I keep telling myself that I only have a month and half left before I get to move into my apartment… I will survive.

The good news is that I am making good progress on Chapter Five (already on page 6 aka page 89 of the entire book). This all means I only have two more chapters before I am in Part Two. Maybe by the end of August I will be able to complete the book, though I doubt it. I don’t want to rush, as the old saying goes, “Haste makes Waste.”

Another Chapter Done and a Completed Website

Chapter three is finally done and chapter four is mostly complete, meaning that only three chapters remain in part one. Sigh, I cannot believe how behind in schedule I am with Passage, though I still maintain the slightest shimmer of hope that it will be completed before the end of the summer before I return to Purdue and my hectic schedule.

The good news is that I have completed work on my Official Website, which was done as my Third Project in my Multimedia Writing course. The site hosts many goodies from an excerpt of my novel to writing guides. So feel free to stop by and explore. I have opened Kalade Forums to serve as a general writing forum (especially for the fantasy genre) and as a means to allow people to comment on my short stories, excerpt, and writing guides. Right now, it is a small community, but I would love to see it grow.

More Progess Made on Novel

I am finally making some progress on my novel known as “Passage,” though I am way behind on my original plan to have it finished before my Spring Break, which has come and passed. At least, I managed to complete two chapters over that break. At least I can say that though I have not been writing I have been plotting the series with further depth, which has been a two-edged sword.

Why? It has helped me better understand where I am going and has expanded my series into five books which will allow me to fully delve into my characters; however, it also poses several questions in regards to those characters and various events. I want to keep it all, but I have to ask myself: “Is this character really necessary?” or “Does another character already fulfill this role?”. Then there is a character slotted to die, who is trying to pull his way of the list. Sigh, so many hard decisions, but in the end I’m sure it will be worth it.

Now it is time to create a new game plan/time line for the completion of “Passage.” Hopefully, it will prove more responsible.
