11 Down 1 to Go and 1 More After That

I just finished the next chapter rewrite which leaves me with only one chapter left...well not exactly. When I saw where this chapter ended I was surprised because I though it went on longer, but it doesn't, there's another chapter I seemed to have missed when I counted how many chapters I had to rewrite. So I have one chapter to rewrite and then one more chapter. Yeah, it kinda stinks, but It'd nothing to get dismayed about. I'm actually starting to like rewriting these chapters, a little anyways, so one more is no big deal. Right?

Anyways, the chapter I wrote turned out very nice. I like it a lot, which is good because my first time through I remember liking it a lot as well. So I don't feel like I've fallen short or anything. It was also pretty long, around nine pages and about eight of those I wrote within the last 24 hours, finishing at about 3:00am. Yay for coffee!

If I'm feeling up for it after I'm done posting this I may start the next chapter, but I'm making no promises on that seeing as how that little feeling called tiredness is creeping up on me. Hopefully the next chapter will get finished soon. I've kind of been in the writing mood lately so I'll try and use that to my advantage.

Islands:
------------------------------
Islands play a large part in the story seeing as how the majority of Prizmara is made up of water. Basically all the landmass on Prizmara is islands and with there being so many islands the common mode of transportation is ships and the like. The main island is Prism Island which is actually quite large and all the other islands surround it in the different seas. In the first book alone over seven islands are seen or mentioned, but there is plenty more than that.

------------------------------
Well I'm done with the post for today so I'll be off to either write or sleep and will try and be back soon to make another post.

10 Down 2 to Go

The next chapter rewrite is finished which means I only have 2 more left. Yay! I got this chapter done mostly in the last few days, probably due to the fact that I was house sitting again. It's so nice to write there, it's out in the country and the weather was so nice. It was rainy and windy and cool and crisp and I had a fire going. I love it when it's cold and rainy, I always feel so inspired by it. Anyways the chapter turned out well maybe not as good as the past two chapters, but it's not bad. A little spit and polish will bring it right up there so I'm not too worried about it.

Perhaps tomorrow I'll start the next chapter. I'm feeling excited since I only have 2 more left to do. It's a good feeling. It's a pretty long chapter if I remember correctly so don't be surprised if the next update will be in a little while.

Venus Root:

------------------------------
Venus Root is a substance in Prizmara that is gathered from a plant that grown inside certain rocks. The root is usually used in spells that involve love since the root effects people's pheromones. Granted it's not just for spells that will make someone fall in love, but out of love as well.
------------------------------
Well I'm going to go now seeing as how it's late and I'm kind of tired. So I bid everyone who's reading this out there, goodnight.

9 Down 3 to Go

I just finished the next chapter, which bring me down to only having to rewrite three more chapters. Victory is so close I can taste it and it kinda' tastes like brownies...Anyways the chapter was a long one and I think I did very well with the rewrite. It's definitely better than my hand written copy and I think it's better the my first typed version, from what I can remember of it.

I don't know if I'll get a chance to start the next chapter tonight, but who knows. It's not a very long chapter so assuming I don't add in something unexpected I should finish with if pretty soon.

The Teal Sea:
------------------------------
The Teal Sea is a one of the five seas that split up the ocean of Prizmara and gets its name from its bright bluish-green water. It's fairly calm with very few storms and in most places its water is fairly warm. Many merchant ships can also be found in the Teal Sea because of the large traffic it gets.
------------------------------
So I'm off to go make dinner now and I'll try to post again soon.

8 Down 4 to Go

I just finished the chapter I've been working on for a while. It's not a very long chapter, I just rarely worked on it over the past weeks. I haven't felt a lot of dive to write lately, but it is nice to know I have only four more chapters left to rewrite. I think that the chapter turned out okay, I don't feel that any of it is particularly bad. I do; however, think that it needs some polishing, but overall it's one of the better chapters I've rewritten.

I'll probably start the next chapter today, but I think I'll be the same with this one as I've been with the others lately, doing little bits at a time.

Well, I'll go off now and start the next chapter. Hopefully my next post wont be too far along.
