Progress Report
Well, I got a c+ for productivity on saturday, an F last night and a B+ today, yet, when it comes to my real job, I do believe I'd get an F today. Oh well.
I have been working today on the extended story, and realized this weekend that the training semester needs to be completely re-written. Is ok, I'll be using much of the same Ideas, just starting the thing over with the stuff Hadri is dealing with at the time. I think I've started it fairly well. Once i get up the gumption, which needs to be tonight after i finish my work at Terror on Tates Creek, I need to up and FINISH the first iteration. There are only a couple of scenes left to do before the Final Editing takes hold, but there needs to be a span of time between the two for certain parts, otherwise I don't get the kind of perspective I need. My Change Log is shrinking, I think I need to change seriously two scenes, maybe three, and then it will be gravy. Matt, I can send you the revised first Iteration for your reading pleasure, and give you as far as I have gotten in the Second Iteration as well. About 6 chapters, roughly 100-120 pages. The characters for the Second Iteration are coming to life as I write, wich means goodness is passing into the book that wasn't there before.
the major problem I'm encountering is great characterization for people who are in it for 10-15 pages max. Oh well, that's good, I guess. They need to be as real as everyone else.
Plus, as I think of it, there are no reasons why they can't be in there longer, I mean, the O-club is still the O-club...
