I've been switching between novels a lot... I don't think that's really normal for a writer, but whatever. We're all unique, right? :P
I was writing a little in "LB:RR" today, but I decided I'd write later since I didn't feel like getting to a point in the journey (to find the first Lost Rock) where it was nighttime, when Bain would show back up after these six years of absence. Sure, fillers are boring to both writer and reader alike, but there's gotta be something in between before a big BOOM.
I haven't done much of anything with the "Feng Song" rewrite and "The Primal Red". I need to put a real good kick into both of them to keep both myself and readers interested, like some serious plot twists, for an example.
"The Primal Red" needs more character developments, while "Feng Song" just needs a good plot that lasts awhile. There's gotta be an epic feel, you know?
Anyway, my main sights have been set back to "ELDENDOR: The Rise of Dagria". I'm going to start alternating between this and "LB:RR" for now.
If you're wondering what I've been writing all this time, well, I've been practicing my writing skills, so to speak. I needed a boost. XD
Oh, yeah, and I've been typing up a list of every character I ever made up. It's about 230 so far... And I'm not counting random guards, servants/maids, passersby, very-much side characters, or anything like that, either!
OK, on that note, I'm off.

A Request for Support!
Don't worry, it's nothing bad at all:
A very, very good friend of mine is selling her novel on Amazon.com (and also CreateSpace.com)!
It's called "Sangre: The Phantom's Lair". The summary and information about the author should also be on this page and you can also buy it here: http://www.amazon.com/Sangre-Phantoms-Phantom-Caribbean-forever/dp/146117368X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1308502422&sr=1-1
If you like to read about pirates, then this is undoubtedly a good book for you. I'd like for you to support my friend by buying it (and rating/giving it a review, too) if you can, and also telling other people about it who might like it as well.
This would mean a lot to the both of us and her family, too, so thank you!

LB:RR (Re-Write): Leaf the Dragon
When a large, common green dragon swoops down and snatches Anastasia right off the ground in Greenwood Forest, it's up to Lirin to save her!
Sounds like the summary of a really cheesy fairytale, right? Well, let me tell you; Lirin's no prince in gleaming armour riding a white stallion, and Anastasia is currently only eight!
But, yes, a dragon does snag Anastasia, and long story short, Lirin gives chase alongside Kikki, who's mad at him for accidentally leaving her behind twice and said he "kept" doing it, and after the dragon crashes into some trees when not paying attention, Lirin boldly approaches it and makes some kind of taming connection with it due to the faint, lingering scent of Queen Lukamakari on him, which the Spirit of Greenwood forest soon explains to have the ability to tame almost all creatures within the limits of Evagren, but, of course, not just by passing by them.
Lirin hands the dragon over to Anastasia and tells her that she should train it and make it her "bodyguard", so to speak, as the protective confines of the forest could be broken, allowing evil inside, and the spirit who protects it agrees.
Anastasia is shocked, but sees that the dragon doesn't have any plans to try and eat her, so she hastily gives it a name upon it's request, and the first thing that pops into her head is "Leaf".
The dragon grumbles that it's better than nothing, and Kikki says:
"Ha, 'better than nothing', my paw! It could have been way worse had the naming been my honor, ya big green bumble-butt!"
Needless to say, Kikki is rather rude and immature for a great and honorable Ancient...
So, we're only introducing the dragon, Leaf. He plays a vital role as Anastasia's bodyguard, and also helps Lirin several times throughout the series, but overall, he is a pretty minor character, but not pointless.
Also, after Anastasia gives the dragon a name, he gives her a horn (the kind you blow) that will summon him wherever she is, then he departs later on.
Now that Leaf has been introduced, there isn't a whole lot more to do in the Greenwood Forest, so Lirin will soon set off to gather the horrible rocks to break the barrier on Lord Shadowfang's realm.
This is also where the story kicks in quite a bit, and more character development blooms as well, since Anastasia insists on accompanying Lirin.
Great. Now you have two annoying female companions, Lirin. -_-
