thesarius: perfectionist, competitive, a dreamer.
-drinks lots of tea (3-6 cups a day) and gets cranky when deprived of it.
-incapable of writing "good" heroes: all characters are evil/ "bad" in some way. Loves characters that are manipulative and overly ambitious.
-in love with semicolons, almost as much as tea; uses them unless coming to a full stop. :)
Quote: "Everybody makes mistakes; that's why they put erasers on the back of pencils." Lenny from the Simpsons.
A good story is one that can be read multiple times and - despite the fact that the reader already knows the plot twists and surprises after the first reading- still be entertaining, though perhaps in a different sense. In a good story, a plot twist, or surprise or any action for that matter, cannot be haphazardly added at the author's whim. There must be clues dropped throughout the story, such that all events are both logical and accounted for. -Lawrence Perrine.
Status on stories:
May 07
Honratsu: removed for reconstruction. I have written the first 6 chapters and planned out the entire story to the detail, but the quality of writing is not up-to-par. As a result, the story needs revamping. For now, I will focus on the more popular story Pharaoh.
Pharaoh: still going strong. Updates will be slower now since I am nearing the end of my detailed planning. I know the major events and the ending of part I (there will be 2-3 parts) (and actually I have planned part 2 and 3 as well, while we're on the subject of progress), just not exactly how the characters will get there. The planning for chapter 6 is complete and only the writing remains. Reviews and constructive criticism always welcome.
Pharaoh:
July 08/07-Expect Chapter 6 soon! Just starting final editing process.
July 16/07-Chapter 7 half completed
July 24/07-Chapter 7 completed. Initial editing also completed and into its final editing process. Expect it soon!
August 24/07-Chapter 9 complete. Only final edit left. Planning for chap. 10-12 complete.
October 16/07 -just a quick note to say two things: first of all, no I have not abandoned Pharaoh. I just lack the time time to work on it; and second of all, thank-you to all those who reviewed Pharaoh for Ch. 9. You guys are awesome. :)
