‘Finished’ Editing SOTM

Of course, I’m never really ‘finished’ editing, but I’ve made the additions and corrections to the unpublished chapters that I had set a goal to make. I wrote one more scene in Ch. 16 as well. I’m going to mull over how to make the next transition, because I’m going to gloss over some time in this chapter. There are a lot of things that the girls ( and Zoraster ) need to do, and it all can’t happen in a day 😉

In the meantime, I think I’m going to read back through Lowborn and get rolling on chapter 5.

Still working

Editing on SOTM 15 and puzzling out how I want the next “of the wood” story to go. Have Lowborn and the next VR:DQ going as well. Just a matter of what strikes me when I have time/peace to work.

New video up. This one is less tips n’ tricks and more me playing through the game making silly comments.

Okay, back to editing Ch. 15. At least that’s the plan for the moment *laugh*

Next “Of the Wood”

Think I have some of the basics for the next “Of the Wood” story going. As with the last two stories, I’m going to jump ahead several years. The primary protagonist this time is going to be young Daniel — just conceived at the end of “Forever of the Wood”

Xanbrina and Gary will be in their 60’s, Xankia and Steve will be pushing closer to 40 than 30. I should imagine that you’ll probably meet Kia and Steve’s young ones, but they’re too young to feature much in the story considering the state of undress common to family gatherings.

Odds are that Kia’s little ( well, the oldest is 13, so not so little ) ones will be the focus of the following story after this one, marking the first shorter jump in time span. We first met the elder Daniel at around five years old, so this story will have been following the family for more than 85 years when I finish the current tale.

I think that someone else associated with the younger Daniel is also going to have a larger role in this story than similar characters have in previous tales. We’ll just have to see how it goes as the story congeals in my head.

That’s pretty much all I’ve done tonight with my writing. I went through and read the series again, figured out how old everyone was going to be, and started meshing it with the ideas I tossed around in my head while at work today.

Other than that, I just uploaded my fifth LP and recorded the sixth to upload tomorrow. Think I’m actually going to go to bed a little earlier tonight. I was pretty beat down from staying up last night.

Off Mood

Just wasn’t in the mood to write or edit tonight. I went ahead and finished my fourth LP video and uploaded it. Then I topped off the fifth, which I’ll upload some time tomorrow. I guesstimate that there will be four more videos, running straight through the game twice to show off everything in a seamless run — probably making goofy comments all the while.

That’s what I’m hoping for, anyway. I’m going to try to do two stages per video and keep it down to the 11 minute barrier. I’m going to show off the second run because there are new traps in the chance stages, and the enemies are a buttload harder.

I’ll try to do some writing or editing tomorrow, though. I may try to work out the next “of the wood” story while I’m at work tomorrow. Time’s running out to prepare for that one to avoid breaking my tradition of putting one out for Earth Day

SOTM 14 Edited

They boy’s been a pain, so haven’t accomplished much. I did make it through Ch. 14. I’ll probably give it one more read in a different font size and face with an extra keen eye for unnecessary proper names, but it’s more or less ready to go.

I started on 15, but I’m only a few paragraphs in so far. I keep getting caught up in reading and forgetting to edit. I can only hope that translates over to y’all when it comes out *laugh*

Probably be all that I do tonight, because my eyes are getting heavy. Stayed up late last night working on that edit and putting together most of my fourth LP video.
