Hi again

Wow, we fail at keeping to this blog...

Anyway, I thought I should say "hi" and play catch up. First off, I'm having quite a problem figuring out exactly what I want to write about. And for what I considered to be my current project, seemed to fall out of my grasp and leave me wondering again. So, I still need to think of a new project. Meanwhile, I'm still editing Warrior so that I can have it published. It's gained quite a few many words from when I first finished. I've gone from 10,000 to 13,000 words and those are just basic estimates and not even properly estimated.

I'm hoping that I can add a bit more detail (as I am currently in the process of) and raising the word count even further to at least 16,000. That is my goal for Warrior.

Well that's it for now.

Warrior Update

I'm finally about to start chapter 10 of Warrior, my first real story that I think will prove to be worth all the hassle. It's shorter than I would have hoped, the chapters are really short, but I hope that won't be a problem.

I still have to go through the entire proofreading once I've finished. And I hope to get some feedback on the completed draft that I can make the appropriate edits and add what may need to be added. Then, maybe, I could get Warrior published! That, however, seems to be the hard part.

Published, that's my goal. But getting there, that'll be tough to achieve. It's a path I want to follow, and I'm prepared (hopefully) for whatever happens.

A Writer's Woes

Warrior, the one project I'm determined to follow through! And yet I'm not entirely satisfied with it. It seems short, and I don't know what to do about that....Most of the chapters are 1-3 pages, and I'm on chapter 7 (typing) and chapter 8 (handwritten). How do I expect this to be the novel I want it to become? I may have to just create a collection of short stories with specialized traits if this keeps up. Honesly, I thought it would be much longer....I can't help but to be disapointed with myself for coming up short (it's how I see it). I know that the story is good, I have had...well...a tiny bit of feedback. Which isn't encouraging at all!

What to do, what to do....How do I get it out for people to see when I'm afraid it'll be taken from me and skewed to something else and then it won't be my daughter anymore....(Yes, yes, I'm weird...my works are my babies....I can't help it!) But I want the feedback that I'm not getting from outside sources....I just want to know what I can add and what might need changing....

And there you have it...my rant. -Fia

Gah...

Ok, so I wasn't entirely wrong....

Diane Duane isn't a British writer though (this is what I get for posting without actually looking anything Sup!!!!), however, I was close (in terms of location). She lives in Ireland. This still doesn't help the wait factor if I'm right that Europe is going to be receiving their copies first. Yet hopefully, if they do, I might be able to score myself with a copy!

Yet it doesn't seem plausible when I try to look for release dates....youngwizards.com list "late 2009" (which I really hope for). And the publisher lists "4/1/2010", but that's under paperback so it's not really wanted information. I wan't the hardback, to go with my hardback Wizard's at War!

Maybe re-reading the entire Young Wizards series isn't going to be enough to help the waiting.....

Random Tech Speak?

Well, I'm finally sick of sitting and waiting. I will finally fix my acursed computer! I've already run a defrag about five times, I'm running disc cleanup for about the seventh time (all within two days~).

Tonight I plan to start a thorough scan to check for any viruses and then I'll run another defrag....And then I'll back everything up before starting my experiments in restoration!

This is making my head spin....

Sorry for the silence, but the team at Legally Insane is working on a project. More information is yet to come.
