From Whence the Change

-
Today, I did some further revising for chapter 7, expanding on a chunk of story that was way too short given the time frame it was supposed to cover (that being about 2 months). I also went back to the manuscript to grab a few more chunks of text for the next few chapters. The music trip is tomorrow, and I think my excitement for it has impacted my productivity over the past couple days. It seems all I've been able to think about is the trip. I'm going to try to get some work done while we are on the bus, but I can't imagine I'll get a whole lot done given how much noise there will be. There will definitely be some pictures coming over the next few days.

10 Steps Back

-
So, I was having some fun repairing the boot sector of my computer so it would load Windows properly, and in the process I created a Windows recovery media on my flashdrive. It mostly had junk files so I didn't bother backing up anything. Then I realized it had my book on it...of course, this was after I had already cleared the drive to reformat. I did have a backup, but I've lost about four chapters and a lot of changes I made to the beginning...so, roughly thirty or so hours of work down the drain. I'm not happy, and this is a bit of a setback, but oh well. I only have my own idiocy to blame. Damn.

Writer's Block-Be-Gone

-
Finally got through the period of Writer's Block I encountered, and finished chapter 10. On to chapter 11 now. If I can keep a good pace, maybe I can have all of this finished in just two weeks. Wouldn't that be fantastic. I think, with the whole file transfer thing I've been receiving emails about, I might be able to transfer this blog to my personal gmail and continue from there under the same url. If that is the case, I may adjust the tab list a bit and remap the blog site so I can embed it into my actual website. I'll have to test that to make sure embedding will actually work, though. UPDATE: Embedding the blog will work perfectly fine, as seen here: https://whispwriting.net/blog2

Spring Semester Update

-
Semester two of my freshman year has just begun. Honestly, I can't believe I've made it this far. It's been a lot of work and will only get harder, but I've really enjoyed it so far. Now, you're all here for the writing I imagine, so...I haven't progressed much since the last update. There's just not enough time. However, on the train I was able to write a new short story. It's loosely based on the Japanese Shinto religion and features a a human, a kitsune, a demon, and Amaterasu the sun goddess herself...in an unexplained wolf form. The current version is up on the site (https://whispwriting.net/lit/ShortStories/Natsuko) if you'd like to read. I think it's a little rushed and there are some parts I've been thinking about changing, so I may update it in the future, but we'll see. Also, bit of an update on the site itself. There was been an annoying glitch where if you're on the blog through the site and click on one of the other
