Finally, some news!

So, now I have a poll set up for which novel of mine you look forward to reading the most. Sounds kind of narcissistic, I know, but it will help me out a bit! Also, don't worry; I'm gonna post summaries of each and every for-sure novel I'm going to write at some point. Not all at once, though.
Also, I'm getting a paper ready with all the information in Feng Song I need; the characters, major and minor, the locations, the important items, the new plot that will actually last for 60,000 words this time, and a step-by-step scene description to help me along the way.
There will also be some important (and fictional) history written in this document as well. So, instead of Bamboran Rains, Feng Song might possibly be first to hit the publication system... And if the manuscript is returned, well, I'll just try harder!
 Finally, here's a basic summary of that nameless novel about the Ancients. It's got a little more of a twist to it, if that's correct! Taken from a previously written note to myself and friends:

A currently nameless novel!!
Like a few of my other novels, I've had this idea for some time. It's where creatures known as Ancients, the sacred embodiments of certain important things in their world, have to bring order and peace to their world when the Ancient Raxron, the Embodiment of Death and Darkness, turns his back on them and tries to become ruler himself.
The protagonist of this story is the Ancient Takuna, the Embodiment of Time and Light. As the alpha Ancient, it's mainly up to him to confront Raxron, but Raxron has the upper hand on Takuna and is slowly taking his life away throughout the story.
As Takuna struggles to fight to the finish, his conditions, and the flow of time and filter of all light as well, begin to make a turn for the worst...
Will Takuna be able to press on and turn Raxron away from the evil he's seen in the hearts of men? Or will Takuna fall into the claws of death, allowing everything fall apart?

...So! From reading that summary, can anyone help me think up a title? It'd really help!

Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day to all!
Now, I'm not here to complain about how much work I have to do, Because it really isn't all THAT much compared to some writers, or just people in general. I just need to keep track of all of it... In a list or something, and give all of the novels statuses so that I know what I'm doing.
Obviously, "Bambora Rains" will not be published this spring, so you'll just have to wait.
My main priorities are "ELDENDOR: The Rise of Dagria", "Feng Song" and "Bamboran Rains".
So, that's that. I've been mainly repeating myself lately...
Anyway, I'm going back to writing "ELDENDOR: The Rise of Dagria", now! (Jeez, I need an abbreviation or something. I'm starting to look like a fool. How about "E:ROD"?)

Ta ta!

You know what happens when you put off work for too long?

It starts piling up. Or people question you. But in my case, it's piling up. Oh, busy, busy writer. Hum!
So, here's what's tricks...
First off, I'm writing a "comic" based off of the chapter in "Lirin Bahonan: Rising Rage", the one where he wakes on an island in wolf form, having just received the Mask. He meets Lukamakari here, too. Just felt like making it for the fun of it. XD I've gotten the front page and the first page gone.

Second, I'm idly writing in a novel about the Ancients, which will be relatively serious and full of stuffy, great creatures of all shapes and sizes. The Ancients are, as I might have said once before, the embodiments of numerous powers needed in order to maintain their planet, Crichianadiie.
There are 19 total, if not more. I counted them all, but I'm not sure if I'm missing one.
Anyway, the plot of that novel is maintaining order in the world as the ancient of Death and Darkness, whom had turned his back on Takuna, the Ancient of Time and Light (and also the boss), rises with evil power and attempts to take over everything.
Although much blood will be shed, it is Takuna's plans to restore him to normal and rid him of the evil that he had seen in the hearts of men, not kill him.

Lastly, I came up with this idea probably sometime last year, but it developed more just yesterday; it's about Kellyn McAllister and Vallin Bahonan... and their life in the Evaran Military. Every chapter it switches their perspectives, starting with Kellyn, since Vallin doesn't join until later. I dunno if it's gonna be a log book or an actual story, but I'm leaning toward an actual story.
Being far different than today's military, this is set more in a Medieval time line, but with some other unusual aspects as well that wouldn't otherwise be seen in the regular past military.
Since the rules and routines are different here, it shouldn't be too hard, but I need to look up on the ranks and see which ones are which, and which are better suited for who, because I'm a little lost on that!
I know that there's General Conall Wolvern, and there's also Lieutenant Kay Winston, but what will Kellyn and Vallin be? Vallin will start off a beginner, obviously, whatever rank that is (a private?) and Kellyn will start at something a little higher, as she is deemed worthy for certain reasons...
So, since I've got other novel plans right now, these ones will wait until later, as one of them requires a bit of research, and the previous one isn't reeeeallly mandatory, but just for the fun of it. (The one about the Ancients, I mean)
Speaking of Lieutenant Winston, back when I made him up, I had no idea what a Lieutenant was; to me, it was  just some military person that was low on the list. But upon closer look, I now see that needs work. XD
I don't have any plans for joining the military, so I kind of ignored it... Until now. Haha. You'll be laughing at me now, but I'll figure it out at some point!

Signing out!

Feng Song will rise again!

After falling into a terrible pit of destruction during the NaNoWriMo month, Feng Song will rise again with full glory this time. I just finished looking up crucial information for the story (I can thank Wikipedia for that) and I think it will go quite nicely.
But I have Bamboran Rains and ELDENDOR: The Rise of Dagria to attend to... Not to mention Lirin Bahonan (all five books!) is patiently waiting behind that.
Since Feng Song is complete (sort of), I will attend to it first. However, before I do that, I will make a document containing all of the characters and the new plot, then I hop to it.
...Actually, I could probably do that using yWriter, which is THE writing program, in my opinion. It's very organized. You can post characters, item, locations, notes, chapters which contain individual scenes and also, at the bottom of the main window, there is your total word count, including how many words you wrote that day. At the bottom of the scene window, it shows how many words the scene contains. I highly recommend it; it makes revision a million times easier! It's free, anyway.
If you're interested, here's the download page. The site is safe as far as I know: http://www.spacejock.com/yWriter.html

Until next time!

"WHERE IS HE?!"

"I KNOW YOU'RE TIRED OF LOOKING BUT YOU MUST NOT STOP. I ASSUME HE IS PROBABLY FOLLOWING US RIGHT NOW."

...

Right, so you're probably wondering WHERE Dagria is. The picture, I mean. You see, I already drew it several days ago, but I have yet to scan it onto the computer.
Actually, I'm not entirely sure I'm going to, because I kind of want to redraw it. :P


Anyway, that aside, I haven't written in this novel in awhile, as I am busy with drills and the like, but soon, I will get to work on that AND "Bamboran Rains"!
"Bamboran Rains" was delayed due to the insane game of musical computers, but now that I've settled on a sane one, it's time to tackle it once more. Why, I've barely gotten into it! Dannon only recently met Saja.
At the present I am likely boring you to tears, but things will liven up sooner or later.
Before I sign out, I have one last thing to say...

I JUST LOST THE GAME!

And so did you. On that note, I'm off.
