The Work Continues

-
Well, progress has definitely been slower than I had hoped when I started the senior project back in April, but I'm making headway. I also got a little mixed up with chapter numbers, but I'm now working on Chapter 10. This is the second chapter I've decided to rewrite, and I'm about 1300 words in of a target around 3000. When we return from Maine I'm going to open up that writer's block kit I have at home and see if I can't find something to gas up my creative engine to get it going again; it's been sputtering out a lot lately. Anyway, time to get back to work.

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

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

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.
