   Writing again!

I KNOW I mentioned the story I'm writing, since I posted the first chapter, but that has since become incorrect. I made some edits! I replaced MOST of the ten-codes with their english equivalents, however I left two, one of which I hope you know, and one of which I hope no one will look up until a little after that part of the story.

Well, in my gym class, we went bowling the past few days. Yesterday, I brought my notebook into the "pit" area while we were bowling. There weren't many lanes allocated to my class, so there was a little more of a wait between frames. I wrote something of two pages of notebook paper in that small 40-minute or so span. When I typed it, I made some minor revisions, but the paper is pretty accurate, which is surprising, considering how far from the paper version I had the photographer story has gone.

I finally hit the 3,000 word mark too! About 4 and a half pages I have so far, and already I have four divisions. Obviously, I either need to revise my divisions, or there will just be short chapters and more of them. I actually have a title for the three actual chapters, but I choose not to give one to the prologue. That's a first for me too, having a prologue. This story is a world of firsts to me. For example, since I am actively writing this piece, it may actually end sometime in the next year! But...

...*whispers* there's gonna be a sequel, unless I end it badly. I'm trying to keep it hush-hush for right now, since I am only about two weeks into development.

To compare speed, I started the photographer story in May of last year as my "writing journal." I dropped it over that summer, too. I then lately picked it up again and wrote about a page or two and changed part of the plot. This one is six pages and 3,935 words. My most recent one, written thusfar in one continuous stream over two weeks, is five pages and 3,012 words. That is a faster development time, by far! I can't wait to finish more of it so I can post the site I'm composing for this story to the internet. I won't do it until I'm confident that I'll actually keep writing in a continuous stream like I have been. I don't want to catch someone's interest only to lose them because they have nothing to read. :)

As for the blog that had, until just recently, slipped my mind, I haven't touched it in a long time. I've either been being and idiot or writing, so I didn't really have any time to develop that other blog place. :(

Jessie told me through my friend that there's something special about Hematite. It's a good reason for her lo like it and a good reason for me to avoid it, even though I don't believe in magick. (Before anyone asks, says, or tells me, that's not a typo.)
