- Total Words: 50,771
- Today’s words: 4,494
looks like today was the biggest word count jump since the first day, awesome 😀
bit trickier to say ‘new chapters start at X’ today since I wrote the end yesterday, so heres whats new:
Added chapters 5-B, 17-B, 95-B, 119-B and added extra stuff to the end of chapters 10 and 15, as well as I got started on the ‘authors notes’ section where I explain plenty of stuff I find interesting 🙂
heres the latest version: Fair_Day26
the story additions were mostly stuff that needed fixing up (such as taking the time to establish Doll and the samurai’s relationship, and Mrs Irfan’s departure before Claire set off himself) but I also added stuff that wasn’t even hinted at before such as depicting Cadence’s fight where she get’s her third glow, and also our Trio of hero’s being ambushed on their way to Koob and one of our antagonists arranging it.
oh, also today I went through the whole thing and corrected the spelling, it really wasn’t as bad as I thought. 🙂
suffice to say, I’m very pleased with myself for getting this far perhaps too pleased but I don’t care) but I’m not done yet, theres a few things I want to tidy up still before I call it ‘november complete’ and I want to make a fresh cover and a crapload of illustrations too.
anyhoo, heres some stuff and my certificate:
This shows a counter and my progress for the month 🙂
My certificate, its definately lame, but I earnt it so I don't care 🙂
anyhoo, I’m going to turn on the beatles, and head off to bed. (yep, early bedtime is the best reward I can give myself, screw chocolate! ^_^)
Nice one, Sophie.
Very well done, once you’re all finished I’ll give it a proper read through when I feel time is around.
Any thoughts on getting it published?
@ Willem: thanks 😀
@ E.L: Thanks also, as for getting it published, its something I have thought about but I’m not too optimistic, I’ll wait until I have a bit of feedback from people reading it and then think further. my current thinking is to release it as a visual ‘web novel’ where each page, or chapter maybe (whatever suits) is a web page I design to suit the events and theme of that part of the story.
I’m also toying with the idea of making a 3D reader in unity but that will probably take up waaay too much time. 🙂
Sorry i’m going off topic, but what language that Unity supports, do you program in?
Off topic? theres no such thing on this blog!
anyhoo, I code in C#, but I plan on learning javascript properly so I can help out folks learning, especially my little brother, hes learning to program so he can make games and I figure javascript+unity will do just the trick.
Cool. I’m planning to look into Boo as well, because it would be nice to know some Python to use in Blender. So much interesting stuff. Sometimes i wish there were more hours in a day 🙂
