Haven't been posting in the last couple of weeks, but I'm sure we all can understand I've been busy.
My deadline has been creeping up, and my novel has yet to hit the third edit, but at the same time, I'm nearly done. Right afterward, I'll take a nice long break, and then begin the full development of "Noctivagous". Or, perhaps I'll continue writing in one of the drafts I've put on hold. Maybe both.
For the moment, I won't be posting (probably at all) until "The Dawnwolf" is done, which I estimate to be about a month from now. Until then, ciao!

P.S. I hit 60,000 words, but it dropped again, then rose... Who knows what it will rest at in the end?
Edit: The Facebook Like button seems to have vanished so I will attempt to get it fixed ASAP...

Continual Progress In My Week Long Absence
Oops, sorry, I haven't posted in a week! I was away for a little while due to some personal issues I had to attend to but now I'm back to give you a report on my progress.
So! "The Dawnwolf"'s edit is almost done. I had previously taken multiple scenes out of my novel, thus dropping my word count considerably, but now I've reached the point where I have, in fact, surpassed my previous record-- nearly 59,000 so far. In case you didn't know, that's 9k more than it was right after NaNoWriMo. 9k. 9: that's 3 3's, that's 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9! Otherwise known as nine!
Okay, okay; it's not that huge of an accomplishment (and yet it is) so let's be on with it! I won't be crowing until I'm at 60,000...
I'm almost at the point where my new scenes will meet ends with the older scenes which I will correct to align with the plot change. I'm noticing new holes appear in the storyline so I'll go back and patch them as soon as possible.
I'm having some trouble creating a cover image right now... Can't decide on a layout! The deadline is two months away, sure, but I want it out of the way soon.
Bottom line? The second edit is almost finished. Instead of saying I'm on the "second half" I'd say it's more effective to say "last half".
The third and final edit is almost in reach...!
And this year's NaNoWriMo, as you know, I'm writing a brand-new novel-- "Noctivagous". I decided that "ELDENDOR" will most likely be a trilogy for later on. If it interests me, I might do "The Primal Blue" next year, or the one about the Galwyrns.
"Noctivagous" is currently in the development process. I've come up with names for multiple locations in Jadina and a few new characters, but I'm probably only on square 3 out of 10.
That's about it!
Word Of The Day:
Precipitation:
1. The action or process of precipitating a substance from a solution.
2. Rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to the ground.
Character Of The Week:
Myra Kamar:
Myra is a 16-year-old female Jadinan who is a little younger in her mind and her appearance. She has long, straight black hair that extends to her mid-back, roundish facial features, and twilight blue-colored eyes. Despite being a race of the Dark World, her element is Light, and she bends its power at her will. Along with that she carries a pair of daggers on her belt.
She's sweet and friendly, but also a bit naive and often spaces out. She isn't very well educated and therefore has no idea how to behave formally. Even though she's had a hard life from the start and plenty of trauma she always stays optimistic and hopeful for a chance at a better life.
She's the protagonist of "Noctivagous", a novel yet to be written, and also known as the "Girl of Light".
