7 Down 5 to Go

I just finished the next chapter. It took me a while, but I've been pacing myself and writing about two to three pages a day. It's a long chapter and it feels nice to have gotten it out of the way (for the second time). As far as how it turned out I think that I improved many things over the original and I think there are some weak points to it, but I think that those are things that needed work even with my first write.

I'll probably start the next chapter tomorrow, but I plan on doing it like I did this one. I'll put in some work each day to make the load lighter and put more effort into smaller sections. It seems to be working well since I didn't get that disgusted/depressed feeling when I finished the chapter this time so yay.

Today's story info: The Color Guard
------------------------------
The Color Guard are knights that serve under the royal family, each with a color designating them. Each knight has a brigade they command and a region that they patrol and keep the order of. The Color Guard play a prominent role in the story since they are the main force of order for Prizmara.
------------------------------
Alright, so I'm going to end this for tonight. I'm not sure when I'll post again probably when the next chapter is finished, but if anything interesting happens between then and now I guess it could be sooner.

6 Down 6 to Go

I'm finally half way done with my rewrites now. It's taken a while, but soon I'll be finished with them. The chapter I just finished was a little shaky at the beginning and needs quite a bit of work, but the ending turned out pretty good I think, which is really good because I remember being dissatisfied with it the first time I wrote it.

I might start the next chapter today or possibly tomorrow, but I'll probably take my time with it like I did the last one. I'm not sure if I'm not feeling motivated lately or if other things are just getting in the way, but I just seem to only be able to write in small doses lately. Maybe it's a little of both. Hopefully when I start this chapter I'll become inspired.
