Short Story Update

As expected, reviewing the short story revealed some flaws. The story is OK, but the flow could be dictated better and some description could be streamlined. Also, without the context of the novel I need to include some characterization that readers would otherwise already be privy to. I have set a short timetable to rework these facets.

Epic Session

I just had probably my best writing session of the project. I jammed for about four hours and finished up a first draft of this short story. I'll look at it with fresh eyes later and probably think it sucks but it's progress.

Three followers! This is really taking off now! lol

Work continues on the short story... more on that later. I've been reading three books simultaneously, depending on what I'm in the mood for. For training I've started "Hero with a Thousand Faces", for classical reference "The Iliad", and for pure entertainment value I'm on book 2 of the Conan series. Each is providing some insight into writing style and story structure so I'm going to keep reading as much as writing.

Update

Haven't posted in a while but I have been working. I'm currently focusing on a short story, relevant to the overall topic, but something that can stand on its own. It's probable this may make its way into the final novel in some form.
